[Chandler-dev] More documentation about the repository?

[Philippe Bossut]

Hi Markku,

I suppose you also read the docs pointed to by 
http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Projects/RepositoryFramework, 
including:
- the Busy dev guide to the repository: 
http://www.osafoundation.org/docs/current/repository-intro.html
- the repository blog: http://blogs.osafoundation.org/chandlerdb/

That being said, the "busy dev guide" is quite outdated and in need of a 
good scrub. Turns out that Andi just made a presentation on the 
repository at EuroPython so I suppose he has some fresh ideas (and 
content and feedback) on how to improve that doc.

Andi, will you be making this public at some point in the future?

Cheers,
- Philippe
