Welcome to the Sync Gateway wiki!

This is the place to discuss development and contribution to Couchbase Sync Gateway. You'll find pages about coding style and running the tests. There are also pages about experimental features (either things that are still in the design phase, or things that are checked in on a branch.) As the features become adopted into the product, their content will move to official documentation. So think of this wiki as the cutting edge for contributors.
