Hi Wade,

this is a great suggestion - Joseph M. Gaffney also got in touch with us and 
we are looking forward to an article :-)

This release was about having out the core code at all. Before christmas we 
are planning a second release (0.2.0) which is supposed to have a bit more 
use case, namely a few gui bits to use decibel and a short howto. So with 
this release we want to make it possible to see Decibel working.

I think this second release is a good reason to have a dot story and it 
perfectly makes sense to start preparing it already now. 

Will Joseph take this over and work something out with Tobias, the main 
Decibel developer? 

Cheers,
eva
