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.
