-GLOSSARY
-----
-
-Developing the Ledger software uses a number different tools, not all of
-which will be familiar to all developers.
-
-[**Boost**](http://www.boost.org): a standard set of C++ libraries. Most
-Boost libraries consist of inline functions and templates in header files.
-
-[**Cheetah**](http://www.cheetahtemplate.org): a Python templating engine,
-used by *./python/server.py*.
-
-[**CMake**](http://www.cmake.org): A cross platform system for building
-from source code. It uses the *CMakeLists.txt* files.
-
-[**DOxygen**](http://doxygen.org): generates programming documentation from
-source code files. Primarily used on C++ sources, but works on all. Uses
-the *doc/Doxyfile.in* file.
-
-[**GCC**](http://gcc.gnu.org): Gnu Compiler Collection, which includes the
-*gcc* compiler and *gcov* coverage/profiler tool.
-
-[**GMP**](https://gmplib.org): Gnu Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library
-provides arbitrary precision math.
-
-[**Markdown**](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/): A typesetter
-format that produces *html* files from *.md* files. Note that GitHub
-automatically renders *.md* files.
-
-[**sha1**](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1): a marginally secure
-cryptographic hash function, used only for signing the license file.
-
-[**Texinfo**](http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/): Gnu documentation
-typesetter that produces *html* and *pdf* files from the *doc/\*.texi*
-files.
-
-[**Travis CI**](https://travis-ci.org): a hosted continuous integration
- service that builds and runs tests each commit posted to GitHub. Each
- build creates a [log](https://travis-ci.org/ledger/ledger), updates a
- [small graphic](https://travis-ci.org/ledger/ledger.png?branch=master) at
- the top left of the main project's
- [README.md](https://github.com/ledger/ledger/blob/master/README.md), and
- emails the author of the commit if any tests fail.
-
-[**utfcpp**](http://utfcpp.sourceforge.net): a library for handling utf-8
-in a variety of C++ versions.
-
-
-Orientation
----
-
-The source tree can be confusing to a new developer. Here is a selective
-orientation:
-
-**./acprep**: a custom thousand-line script to install dependencies, grab
- updates, and build. It also creates *\*.cmake*,
- *./CmakeFiles/* and other CMake temporary files. Use *./acprep --help*
- for more information.
-
-**./README.md**: user readme file in markdown format, also used as the project
- description on GitHub.
-
-**./contrib/**: contributed scripts of random quality and completion. They
- usually require editing to run.
-
-**./doc/**: documentation, licenses, and
- tools for generating documents such as the *pdf* manual.
-
-**./lib/**: a couple libraries used in development.
-
-**./lisp/**: the [Emacs](http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/)
- [ledger-mode](http://ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger-mode.html) lisp code,
- under the [GPLv2](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html) license.
-
-**./python/**: samples using the Python ledger module.
-
-**./src/**: the C++ header and source files in a flat directory.
-
-**./test/**: a testing harness with subdirectories full of tests
-
-**./tools/**: an accretion of tools, mostly small scripts, to aid development
