[Chandler-dev] More documentation about the repository?

Hello Andi,

This week I had some free time from my Chandler internationalization 
work, so I started to read all the documentation there is about Chandler 
(including those in http://chandler.osafoundation.org/docs/0.6/ and the 
text formatted documentation that there is in the source tree). I became 
interested in the repository and its design so I tried to find as much 
information about that as I could. The documents that I found explained 
clearly how to use the repository in parcels but contained less 
information about the actual design and implementation of the 
repository. When I was unable to find a good document about that, I 
started to browse the source codes, used a couple of days doing that but 
was unable to reach a really good understanding of how the repository 
works. I guess it was just the sheer amount of source code lines 
distributed in so many source files that kept me from seeing a clear 
hierarchy inside the code, which again prevented me from gaining a good 
understanding of the repository. Do you have any additional 
documentation about the repository, possible something that you keep to 
yourself because you feel that it is not ready for publication, that I 
could use to increase my understanding of the design.

Cheers,
    Markku
