+*Coding Standards
+
+ http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.php
+
+*PHP Documentation
+
+ PHP documentation generated by PHP Documentor can be found in /docs. View index.html using file://.
+
+*Configuration
+
+ Application configuration is done using define() calls. The configuration script is located in:
+ cfg/config-dist.php
+
+ Copy this config file to cfg/config.php and the init script (cfg/init.php) will process it as intended.
+
+ !! DO NOT store password information in config-dist.php and checkin !!
+
+*Apache
+
+ Don't forget to set up raw logs:
+ ErrorLog "|/usr/bin/cronolog /var/www/download/logs/%Y%m%d/error.log"
+ CustomLog "|/usr/bin/cronolog /var/www/download/logs/%Y%m%d/access.log"
+
+ DB-based logging is configurable by enabling the LOGGING constant in config.php.
+
+*DB
+
+ DB information is stored in:
+ cfg/mirror.sql
+
+ DB connections are persistent (msyql_pconnect()). For more info view the PHP manual:
+ http://php.oregonstate.edu/mysql_pconnect
+ http://php.oregonstate.edu/manual/en/features.persistent-connections.php
+
+ The DB server should optimally NOT be localhost (save cycles).
+
+*Questions
+
+ Send questions and rants to <mike dot morgan at oregonstate dot edu>
+
+*Output Buffering
+
+ This application uses output buffering.
+
+ ob_start() is called in inc/header.php.
+ ob_end_flush() is called in inc/footer.php.
+
+ No browser output (echo, print, etc.) should _ever_ happen outside of these boundaries.
+
+*Permissions
+
+ The project directory should be readable by the web server.
+
+*Benchmarking
+
+ !! ALL benchmark referencing /index.php should be done using ?print=true. !!
+ !! This disables the actual redirects and avoids spamming mirrors. !!
