We're writing new introductory documentation for Xapian. See the formatted output at http://getting-started-with-xapian.readthedocs.org/
Join in on channel #xapian on irc.freenode.net (webchat link: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23xapian).
This repository will be merged into the main Xapian tree and disappear after the sprint.
