Wiki page: Technical overview

[ZJONSSON]

After few failed attempts to read the crossfilter code in one sitting, I realized that a "Technical overview" wiki page could be immensely helpful.

That's an excellent idea.

Let us know when you've completed it. :)

I'd be more than happy to put time into it, but still lack good understanding how the code ties together. I was hoping a technical overview might benefit a wide audience.

[optimuspaul]

totally agree. I'm having a difficult time with the example code.

I happen to have written something like this. Where would be a good place to post it for review?

[ZJONSSON]

That is fantastic @gordonwoodhull look forward reading it. You should really post it on the Wiki as a new page (Technical overview) https://github.com/square/crossfilter/wiki/_pages You can state at the top that the document is a draft and ask for comments/modifications?

[gordonwoodhull]

Sure, let me revise it a bit more and then I'll do that.

I was hoping to get some feedback before posting, in case it's, you know, Wrong, but I guess a wiki can serve that purpose too. Maybe I'll post it to the d3 mailing list first.

[ZJONSSON]

@gordonwoodhull, maybe you could post it to this thread for discussion?

Are you looking for a tutorial for using it or for a walk through on the actual source code? I've written a tutorial on crossfilter as a basis for using dc.js here:

Thanks for your contributions and sorry for silence on this side. As discussed in #151 an active fork is being developed in a new Crossfilter Organization. Please take further discussion there (if you haven't already) where it should be warmly welcomed by the new maintainers. Cheers!
