+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The Organic Groups Register module allows users to choose a group on
+registration. This can work both for users that register themselves as for users
+that are created by administrators.
+
+
+USAGE
+-----
+These instructions assume you already have set up some groups. Refer to the
+main documentation for details on how to do this.
+
+1. Enable Organic Groups Register at Modules (admin/modules).
+2. Add the 'Group register' field to your group node entity:
+   - Go to Configuration > Organic Groups > OG Field Settings
+     (admin/config/group/fields).
+   - Open the 'Bundles' drop down menu and select your group node entity (e.g.
+     'node > Group').
+   - Open the 'Fields' drop down menu and select 'Group > Group
+     register'.
+   - Click on 'Add field'.
+3. Add field to user registration form
+   - Go to Configuration > People > Account settings > Manage fields
+   - Edit the 'Group membership' field.
+   - Select 'Display on user registration form.' and save.
+4. Choose groups to show on the registration page. 
+   - By default the 'Group register field' is set to 'Do not show on registration page' on the Group content type. To change this go to admin/structure/types/manage/group/fields/group_register and change the default value to 'Show on registration page'. Then all new groups will get added to the user registration page automatically.
+   - Choose per group. Go to admin/content and edit the group node entities you want enabled on the
+   registration form. For each node locate the 'Group register' field and set it
+   to 'Show on registration page'.
