Hi Stjepan,
Thanks! That's great. I've managed to compile the doc with bjam.
Took me a bit of time set things up for the firs time.

I started working on the doc and got a dev account for sandbox. The only 
issue
was  to commit the  update. I kept getting errors 'pre-commit hook' ... 
but then
it suddenly worked! Is adding a comment-text to a commit perhaps mandatory?

anyway, a first sketch (unstructured with some idea & questions) is in /doc
Best, Thijs
