source: mailjam/docs/src/_build/html/install.html@ 13:f1f11159dbed

Last change on this file since 13:f1f11159dbed was 13:f1f11159dbed, checked in by Borja Lopez <borja@…>, 12 years ago

Added first version of the project documentation. Inside docs/src there is
the sphinx [1] project we use to manage the docs. Inside docs/html there is
a copy of the docs in html format.

Fixed some typos in the INSTALL file

Added two new parameters to the postman.conf file (both the example config
file inside conf/ and the one used for testing in postman/tests/). These
parameters do nothing yet (they are related to ssl stuff) but we do talk
about them in the docs.

Added a new method to the XMLRPC list of methods related to members.
