Just pushed out some POD (which should build to manpages),
so maybe early adopters can start hosting mirrors themselves(*).

I hope public-inbox-overview(7) is a good starting point
(along with the existing INSTALL) and there'll be more docs
coming at some point...


Writing documentation tends to make my attention span drift all
over the place; so maybe parts don't make sense or were glossed
over, but I'll be glad to help clarify anything.  (Responding
to emails is generally easier for me since I can answer things
specifically, tough to do for generic docs)


I'll try to get a tarball release out soonish,
but my schedule is unpredictable.


(*) None of the code has had any security audit, yet;
    and there's no warranty of course.
