    • I started adding some documentation in the doc folder. Currently, the FfH-specific VoteInfo tags are documented, but I plan to add more in the future (depending what I work on). The documentation is formatted with markdown. The rendered result can be viewed e.g. on bitbucket (although it doesn't render everything correctly, it is still well readable).
