Provide more design, specification and operational documentation

[aschrijver]

As a newcomer to decentralized computing I was recently comparing between SSB and Dat Project.

Even though SSB seemed closer to my use case (social networking) I decided to more closely evaluate Dat instead of SSB for following reasons:

• Dat has more of a specification effort and documentation on wire protocol and archive formats
• The extend of Dat documentation led me to believe it could be re-purposed to fit my use case
• I couldn't figure out the operational requirements of a Pub server in terms of bandwidth, storage, information exchange and costs involved with hosting a Pub server (e.g. in AWS)
• I couldn't find good documentation of running a flock of private Pub servers and how they would interoperate

Just saying, providing more in-depth documentation like this, would make it easier to adopt your technology.
