 ### Windows

 1. Install [WinAVR Tools](http://sourceforge.net/projects/winavr/) for AVR GCC compiler.
 2. Install [DFU-Programmer][dfu-prog] (the -win one).
 3. Start DFU bootloader on the chip first time you will see 'Found New Hardware Wizard' to install driver. If you install device driver properly you can find chip name like 'ATmega32U4' under 'LibUSB-Win32 Devices' tree on 'Device Manager'. If not you will need to update its driver on 'Device Manager' to the `dfu-programmer` driver.

 1. Install AVR GCC with your favorite package manager.
 2. Install [DFU-Programmer][dfu-prog].
 
+Note that, since it will be directly accessing USB hardware, the

 ## Verify Your Installation
 1. Clone the following repository: https://github.com/jackhumbert/qmk_firmware
 2. Open a Terminal and `cd` into `qmk_firmware/keyboard/planck`

 ### Default
 To build with the default keymap, simply run `make`.
 
+## Safety Considerations
+
+You probably don't want to "brick" your keyboard, making it impossible
+to rewrite firmware onto it.  Here are some of the parameters to show
+what things are (and likely aren't) too risky.
+
+- If a keyboard map does not include RESET, then, to get into DFU
+  mode, you will need to press the reset button on the PCB, which
+  requires unscrewing some bits.
+- Messing with tmk_core / common files might make the keyboard
+  inoperable
+- Too large a .hex file is trouble; `make dfu` will erase the block,
+  test the size (oops, wrong order!), which errors out, failing to
+  flash the keyboard
+- DFU tools do /not/ allow you to write into the bootloader (unless
+  you throw in extra fruitsalad of options), so there is little risk
+  there.
+- EEPROM has around a 100000 write cycle.  You shouldn't rewrite the
+  firmware repeatedly and continually; that'll burn the EEPROM
+  eventually.
+
 ### Other Keymaps
 Several version of keymap are available in advance but you are recommended to define your favorite layout yourself. To define your own keymap create file named `<name>.c` and see keymap document (you can find in top README.md) and existent keymap files.

+cbbrowne custom keyboard
+==============================
+
+Due to cbbrowne@acm.org
+Christopher Browne
+
+This was originally based on the default keyboard map, but I have been
+doing sundry experimentation:
+
+ * To figure things out about the toolset
+ * I'm an Emacs guy, so will be needing a fair bit of tuning
+ * It made sense to mess around some with keyboard maps.
+   - I added Workman alongside Dvorak and Colemak
+     - Boy, oh boy, these don't help
+     - I have done 30 years of learning of Emacs key mappings, and these alternative keyboards massively mess me up
+   - I added a keypad, originally based on keymaps/numpad.c, but mighty substantially revised, as that one seems to be rotated 90 degrees from usual conventions for number pads
