-.. leap.mail documentation master file, created by
-   sphinx-quickstart on Mon Aug 25 19:19:48 2014.
-   You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least
-   contain the root `toctree` directive.

-leap.mail
-=========
-
-*decentralized and secure mail delivery and synchronization*
-
-This is the documentation for the ``leap.mail`` module. It is a `twisted`_
-package that allows to receive, process, send and access existing messages using
-the `LEAP`_ platform.
-
-One way to use this library is to let it launch two standard mail services,
-``smtp`` and ``imap``, that run as local proxies and interact with a remote
-``LEAP`` provider that offers *a soledad syncronization endpoint* and receives 
-the outgoing email. This is what `Bitmask`_ client does.
-
-From the release 0.4.0 on, it's also possible to use a protocol-agnostic email
-public API, so that third party mail clients can manipulate the data layer. This
-is what the awesome MUA in the `Pixelated`_ project is using.
-

-.. _`LEAP`: https://leap.se/en/docs
-.. _`Bitmask`: https://bitmask.net/en/features#email
-.. _`Pixelated`: https://pixelated-project.org/
-
-How does this all work?
------------------------
-
-All the underlying data storage and sync is handled by a library called
-`soledad`_, which handles encryption, storage and sync. Based on `u1db`_,
-documents are stored locally as local ``sqlcipher`` tables, and syncs against
-the soledad sync service in the provider.
-
-OpenPGP key generation and keyring management are handled by another leap
-python library: `keymanager`_.
-
-See :ref:`the life cycle of a leap email <mail_journey>` for an overview of the life cycle
-of an email through ``LEAP`` providers.

-.. _`u1db`: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U1DB
-.. _`keymanager`: https://github.com/leapcode/keymanager/
-
-
-Data model
-----------
-.. TODO clear document types documentation.
-
-The data model at the present moment consists of several *document types* that split email into
-different documents that are stored in ``Soledad``. The idea behind this is to
-keep clear the separation between *mutable* and *inmutable* parts, and still being able to
-reconstruct arbitrarily nested email structures easily.

+* [ ] Merge changes/next-changelog.rst into the CHANGELOG
+  - NOTE: in leap.soledad, 3 sections (common, client, server).
+* [ ] reset changes/next-changelog.rst
+* [ ] git commit -S -m "[pkg] Update changelog"
+
+* [ ] git tag --sign $RELEASE -m "Tag version $RELEASE"
+
+* If everything went ok, push the changes, and merge back into master&develop:
+* [ ] git checkout release/0.9.x && git merge $RELEASE
+* [ ] git push origin release/0.9.x
+* [ ] git push origin $RELEASE
+* [ ] git checkout master && git pull origin master && git merge --no-edit $RELEASE
+* [ ] git checkout develop && git merge $RELEASE && git push origin develop
+
+Bundles
+-------
+* [ ] Build and upload bundles
+* [ ] Use 'make pyinst-linux' to build bundles.

+What is Bitmask?
+-----------------------------------------
+**Bitmask** is the client for the services offered by `the LEAP Platform`_.  The
+services currently deployed are Encrypted Internet Proxy (VPN) and Encrypted Mail.
+
+Bitmask offers a **command-line interface** and a **multiplatform desktop
+client**. It can be also used as a **set of libraries** to communicate with the
+different services from third party applications.
+
+Bitmask is written in python using `Twisted`_  and licensed under the `GPL3`_. The
+Graphical User Interface is written in html+js and uses `PyQt5`_ for serving the
+application.
+
+.. _`the LEAP Platform`: https://github.com/leapcode/leap_platform
+.. _`Twisted`: https://twistedmatrix.com
+.. _`PyQt5`: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyQt5
+.. _`GPL3`: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt
+
+Understood! Show me the docs!
+-----------------------------------------
+
+These documents that you are reading are, mostly, a **guide for developers** that want to contribute to the development of Bitmask, and seek to understand better the code organization and the contribution process.
+
+The **authoritative users guide** lives at `bitmask.net`_.
+
+Other important documents about the LEAP Project can be found at the `Official LEAP documentation`_ site. If you ever need an offline copy, you can clone the `repo for the LEAP Docs site`_. That repo contains also the related LEAP Platform documentation and all the latest design documents. Enhancement contributions and new translations are always welcome! Just open a new merge request.
 
+On the contrary, this developers documentation you are reading right now is maintained in the `bitmask-dev`_ git repo itself, and `can also be checked online`_.
 
+Building the docs
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+if you want to build these docs locally, you can do::
+
+  make doc
+
+from the topmost folder in the `bitmask-dev`_ repo. Note that you need to have sphinx installed.

+Bitmask Mail
+================================
+*decentralized and secure mail delivery and synchronization*
+
+This is the documentation for the ``leap.mail`` module. It is a `twisted`_
+module, hanging from the ``leap.bitmask`` namespace, that allows to receive, process, send and access existing messages using the `LEAP`_ platform.
+
+One way to use this library is to let it launch two standard mail services,
+``smtp`` and ``imap``, that run as local proxies and interact with a remote
+``LEAP`` provider that offers *a soledad syncronization endpoint* and receives 
+the outgoing email. This is what `Bitmask`_ client does.
+
+From the mail release 0.4.0 on, it's also possible to use a protocol-agnostic email
+public API, so that third party mail clients can manipulate the data layer. This
+is what the awesome MUA in the `Pixelated`_ project is using.
+
+From release 0.10 on, the Bitmask Bundles will also ship a branded version of
+the Pixelated User Agent, that will be served locally. This will be one of the
+recommended ways of accessing the user emails. The other will be Thunderbird, by
+using the `Bitmask Thunderbird Extension`_.
+
+Note that this used to be a standalone python package, under the ``leap.mail``
+namespace. It was merged into bitmask repo, so it now lives in the
+``leap.bitmask.mail`` namespace. The `legacy repo`_ will no longer be updated.

+
+How does Bitmask Mail work?
+----------------------------
+
+All the underlying data storage and sync is handled by a library called
+`soledad`_, which handles encryption, storage and sync. Based on `u1db`_,
+documents are stored locally as local ``sqlcipher`` tables, and syncs against
+the soledad sync service in the provider.
+
+OpenPGP key generation and keyring management are handled by another leap
+python library: `keymanager`_.
+
+See :ref:`the life cycle of a leap email <mail_journey>` for an overview of the life cycle
+of an email through ``LEAP`` providers.

+
+The life cycle of a LEAP Email
+------------------------------
+
+For a better picture, you are invited to read about :ref:`the whole journey of a mail in the LEAP system <journey>`.
+
+
+Data model
+--------------------
+
+.. TODO clear document types documentation.
+
+The data model at the present moment consists of several *document types* that split email into different documents that are stored in ``Soledad``. The idea behind this is to
+keep clear the separation between *mutable* and *inmutable* parts, and still being able to
+reconstruct arbitrarily nested email structures easily.
+
+Authentication
+---------------------
+Currently, IMAP and SMTP are twisted services that are binded to ``localhost``. These services be initialized by the bitmask.core daemon, but they are not tied to any user session. When an use attempts to log in to those services, a ``twisted.cred`` pluggable authentication plugin will try to lookup a ``mail token`` that is stored inside the soledad encrypted storage.
