This Documentation
The aim of this documentation is to explain the current functionality.
It is possible that there are features in the tool available, which are not documented here. But all features that are documented here, should work. If you stumble up on either a bug in the tool, or confusing/erroneous part in the documentation, please → write to us. Apart from that, this documentation is very much work in progress. Links that look like → this ← link to existing pages. Links that look like → this ← can be seen as a hint for a page that might be called into existence in the future.
Philosophy
Even though we are creating this tool and experiments mainly for ourselves, we want it to be accessible to everyone. So we decided to make it free to use. Furthermore, we made it open source and contributed to various open source projects in the course of its creation.
This also means, that there are possibly quite some bugs that we didn't discover yet. We are a tiny development team of two people. :-)
More
No, nothing more for now. Please, explore the documentation and the tool itself. We hope you'll love it!
