+Casbah is an interface for [MongoDB][MongoDB] designed to provide more flexible access from both Java and Scala.  While the current cor focus is on providing a Scala oriented wrapper interface around the Java mongo driver, support for other JVM languages may come in the future.
 
 For the Scala side, contains series of wrappers and DSL-like functionality for utilizing MongoDB from within Scala. This currently utilises the very Java-oriented Mongo Java driver, and attempts to provide more scala-like functionality on top of it. This has been tested with MongoDB 1.2.x+ and v2.x of the Mongo java driver.
 
-This code is available at both [GitHub][GitHub] and [BitBucket][BitBucket].  BitBucket is the primary repository, with clones pushed to GitHub on a regular basis.
+We are constantly adding new functionality, and maintain a detailed [Tutorial][Tutorial].
