+if you use this tool in your published work.
+
+**Short Story**
+
+This is an unusual Galaxy tool capable of generating new Galaxy tools.
+It works by exposing *unrestricted* and therefore extremely dangerous scripting
+to all designated administrators of the host Galaxy server, allowing them to
+run scripts in R, python, sh and perl over multiple selected input data sets,
+writing a single new data set as output.
+
+*You have a working r/python/perl/bash script or any executable with positional or argparse style parameters*
+
+It can be turned into an ordinary Galaxy tool in minutes, using a Galaxy tool.
+
+
+**Automated generation of new Galaxy tools for installation into any Galaxy**
+
+A test is generated using small sample test data inputs and parameter settings you supply.
+Once the test case outputs have been produced, they can be used to build a
+new Galaxy tool. The supplied script or executable is baked as a requirement
+into a new, ordinary Galaxy tool, fully workflow compatible out of the box.
+Generated tools are installed via a tool shed by an administrator
+and work exactly like all other Galaxy tools for your users.
+
+**More Detail**
+
+To use the ToolFactory, you should have prepared a script to paste into a
+text box, or have a package in mind and a small test input example ready to select from your history
+to test your new script.
+
+```planemo test rgToolFactory2.xml --galaxy_root ~/galaxy --test_data ~/galaxy/tools/tool_makers/toolfactory/test-data``` works for me
+
+There is an example in each scripting language on the Tool Factory form. You
+can just cut and paste these to try it out - remember to select the right
+interpreter please. You'll also need to create a small test data set using
+the Galaxy history add new data tool.
+
+If the script fails somehow, use the "redo" button on the tool output in
+your history to recreate the form complete with broken script. Fix the bug
+and execute again. Rinse, wash, repeat.
+
+Once the script runs sucessfully, a new Galaxy tool that runs your script
+can be generated. Select the "generate" option and supply some help text and
+names. The new tool will be generated in the form of a new Galaxy datatype
+*toolshed.gz* - as the name suggests, it's an archive ready to upload to a
+Galaxy ToolShed as a new tool repository.
+
+Once it's in a ToolShed, it can be installed into any local Galaxy server
+from the server administrative interface.
+
+Once the new tool is installed, local users can run it - each time, the script
+that was supplied when it was built will be executed with the input chosen
+from the user's history. In other words, the tools you generate with the
+ToolFactory run just like any other Galaxy tool,but run your script every time.
+
+Tool factory tools are perfect for workflow components. One input, one output,
+no variables.
+
+*To fully and safely exploit the awesome power* of this tool,
+Galaxy and the ToolShed, you should be a developer installing this
+tool on a private/personal/scratch local instance where you are an
+admin_user. Then, if you break it, you get to keep all the pieces see
+https://bitbucket.org/fubar/galaxytoolfactory/wiki/Home
+
+**Installation**
+This is a Galaxy tool. You can install it most conveniently using the
+administrative "Search and browse tool sheds" link. Find the Galaxy Main
+toolshed at https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/ and search for the toolfactory
+repository. Open it and review the code and select the option to install it.
+
+If you can't get the tool that way, the xml and py files here need to be
+copied into a new tools
+subdirectory such as tools/toolfactory Your tool_conf.xml needs a new entry
+pointing to the xml
+file - something like::
+
+  <section name="Tool building tools" id="toolbuilders">
+    <tool file="toolfactory/rgToolFactory.xml"/>
+  </section>
+
+If not already there,
+please add:
+<datatype extension="toolshed.gz" type="galaxy.datatypes.binary:Binary"
+mimetype="multipart/x-gzip" subclass="True" />
+to your local data_types_conf.xml.
+
+
+**Restricted execution**
+
+The tool factory tool itself will then be usable ONLY by admin users -
+people with IDs in admin_users in universe_wsgi.ini **Yes, that's right. ONLY
+admin_users can run this tool** Think about it for a moment. If allowed to
+run any arbitrary script on your Galaxy server, the only thing that would
+impede a miscreant bent on destroying all your Galaxy data would probably
+be lack of appropriate technical skills.
+
+**What it does** 
+
+This is a tool factory for simple scripts in python, R and
+perl currently. Functional tests are automatically generated. How cool is that.
+
+LIMITED to simple scripts that read one input from the history. Optionally can
+write one new history dataset, and optionally collect any number of outputs
+into links on an autogenerated HTML index page for the user to navigate -
+useful if the script writes images and output files - pdf outputs are shown
+as thumbnails and R's bloated pdf's are shrunk with ghostscript so that and
+imagemagik need to be available.
+
+Generated tools can be edited and enhanced like any Galaxy tool, so start
+small and build up since a generated script gets you a serious leg up to a
+more complex one.
+
+**What you do**
+
+You paste and run your script, you fix the syntax errors and
+eventually it runs. You can use the redo button and edit the script before
+trying to rerun it as you debug - it works pretty well.
+
+Once the script works on some test data, you can generate a toolshed compatible
+gzip file containing your script ready to run as an ordinary Galaxy tool in
+a repository on your local toolshed. That means safe and largely automated
+installation in any production Galaxy configured to use your toolshed.
+
+**Generated tool Security**
+
+Once you install a generated tool, it's just
+another tool - assuming the script is safe. They just run normally and their
+user cannot do anything unusually insecure but please, practice safe toolshed.
+Read the code before you install any tool. Especially this one - it is really scary.
