select2/README.md
Kevin Brown 8bf86ebae1 Tweak the README
Now we point users to the `LICENSE.md` file for the license,
instead of including it in the README. This also removes the
example integrations, which are no longer officially maintained
by Select2.

The translation section has also been updated.

Select2
=======
Select2 is a jQuery-based replacement for select boxes. It supports searching,
remote data sets, and pagination of results.
To get started, checkout examples and documentation at
http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2
Use cases
---------
* Enhancing native selects with search.
* Enhancing native selects with a better multi-select interface.
* Loading data from JavaScript: easily load items via ajax and have them searchable.
* Nesting optgroups: native selects only support one level of nested. Select2 does not have this restriction.
* Tagging: ability to add new items on the fly.
* Working with large, remote datasets: ability to partially load a dataset based on the search term.
* Paging of large datasets: easy support for loading more pages when the results are scrolled to the end.
* Templating: support for custom rendering of results and selections.
