-3. Usage
-========
-The system is designed to accessed through the command-line, e-mail or web
-interface.
-
-3.1 Command-line
-----------------
-The command-line tool is called "roundup-admin" and is used for most low-level
-database manipulations such as:
- . creating a database instance
- . redefining the list of products ("create" and "retire" commands)
- . adding users manually, or setting their passwords ("create" and "set")
- . other stuff - run it with no arguments to get a better description of
-   what it does.
-
-
-3.2 E-mail
-----------
-See the docstring at the start of the roundup/mailgw.py source file.
-
-
-3.3 Web
--------
-Hopefully, this interface is pretty self-explanatory...
-
-Index views may be modified by the following arguments:
-    :sort    - sort by prop name, optionally preceeded with '-'
-	     to give descending or nothing for ascending sorting.
-    :group   - group by prop name, optionally preceeded with '-' or
-	     to sort in descending or nothing for ascending order.
-    :filter  - selects which props should be displayed in the filter
-	     section. Default is all.
-    :columns - selects the columns that should be displayed.
-	     Default is all.
-    propname - selects the values the node properties given by propname
-             must have (very basic search/filter).

-4. TODO
+License
 =======
-Most of the TODO items are captured in comments in the code. In summary:
-
-in general:
-  . more unit tests
-  . more back-ends
-  . better error handling (nicer messages for users)
-  . possibly revert the entire damn thing to 1.5.2 ... :(
-roundup.py:
-  . getopt() for command line
-hyperdb:
-  . transaction support
-  . more efficient reverse lookups
-roundupdb:
-  . split the file storage into multiple dirs?
-roundup-mailgw:
-  . errors as attachments
-  . snip signatures?
-roundup-server:
-  . check the source file timestamps before reloading
-cgi_client
-  . searching
-  . keep form fields in form on bad submission - only clear it if all ok
-  . e-mail messages should have the roundup CGI URL in them
-
-
-5. Known Bugs
-=============
 
-date:
-  . date subtraction doesn't work correctly "if the dates cross leap years,
-    phases of the moon, ..."
