conjure-0.1: DEVELOPING

``Walking the plane of innocence can be dangerous, berk. You might
end up finding yourself face to face with danger when you least
expect it. You look over your shoulder and find your fellow
planewalkers gone, consumed by the odd reality of the plane. A succubi
will come walking in a sexy, seductive walk. While it seduces you, it
will keep telling you through telepathy ``Provide Conjure
Patches''. You can do nothing but do its bidding, as its luring powers
are unequalled. Then it will kiss you and pull you down; down to the
lower planes.'' -- Confessions of a Conjurer.

If you are reading this document, you might want to provide patches to
the Conjure project. This document is intended to give you a quick
overview of the project, so you are able to begin being productive
faster.

Conjure is a Bittorrent client written in the functional, pure, lazy
language of Haskell. The primary point of Conjure is to show the
feasibility of Haskell with respect to heavy network applications. In
particular, we are using the STM (Software Transactional Memory)
framework to provide us with concurrency.

CURRENT STATE: 

The current state of the code is that of immature development. Some of
us are building modules in a bottom-up fashion, so much of the code is
not yet linked into the main project.

SUGGESTED READING:

I suggest you go read some of the documents in the READTHEM file. The
file is a pile of documents relating to Haskell, Programming and
Bittorrent. They give the general overview.

The file TODO lists things people have found needing addition to the
project. Feel free to fill stuff into it, if you find anything. The
TODO list also lists who is working, or have worked, on what. You can
contact them and gain deeper knowledge about a certain part of the
code.

The document INSTALL should contain information about installing
Conjure. Currently the document is in a sad state, missing a lot of
stuff.

The docs/ directory contains some in-depth documentation on parts of
the code.
