*		frontend, by the official Gazelle developers			*
*********************************************************************************

//--------- Introduction --------------------------------------------------------

Gazelle is a high performance, well organized php frontend for private BitTorrent
trackers. It is a 100% original source project - no part of the codebase was
based off any other codebase in any way (don't let anyone tell you otherwise).
Gazelle was designed to be very fast and very easy to modify - but if you're
reading this document, you should already know this. 

These files were designed very similarly to Gazelle - clean, organized, simple,
with as little bullshit as possible. You will find information on how to install
and configure the codebase, how the database schema works, what the coding 
standards are, how the code is laid out, how you should configure your server, 
and miscellaneous tips and tricks on running your tracker, drawn from our 
experience as tracker staff and our collective years as system administrators. 

But before we do that - this is one of those shows where the credits come first.
