Requirements

Upgrade
------------
-- make a copy of inc/settings.php
-- make a copy of upload/ (or directory where your photos and thumbnails are stored).
-- delete old version of syp from your server
-- upload new version
-- edit inc/settings.php again (copy old version of file may not be enough
- because new settings may have appeared)
-- copy upload/ back.
+- uncompress new version of syp
+- upload uncompressed version to your server
- open http://yoururl.com/upgrade.php with your web browser
+co-administrators
+-----------------
+It is possible to allow other people to upload and manage
+pictures/descriptions. In admin interface, select "Add an co-administrator"
+and fill informations (user name and password). Then, you need to communicate
+to your user its username and password. He/She will be able to modify this
+password afterward. Only admin can add new users.
+
+Other co-administrators will be able to add markers, and delete/modifiy them.
+They cannot modify markers they have not created. admin is the only user
+allowed to manage markers of other users. If you plan to have several
+co-administrators, you may want to create a normal user for yourself, and use
+it to manage your markers. You will then only use admin account when really
+needed.
+
+Currently, SYP does not allow
+
+Custom CSS
+----------
+You can define your own css rules by creating custom css files:
+- `media/syp_custom.css` for user interface
+- `media/admin_custom.css` for admin interface
+Those files are sourced after all other css files. So, rules defined in those
+custom files will override other rules.
+
server API
----------
-The way server side communicates with client side is described at
-http://dev.renevier.net/syp.git/?a=blob_plain;f=devdoc/api.txt
-That document is mainly aimed at developers and inquiring people. You should
-not need it if you just want to install syp on your website.
+Client/server communication follows an API. This allow for example creation of
+scripts to automate some tasks. [API description] [1] is mainly aimed at
+developers and inquiring people. You should not need it if you just want to
+install syp on your website.
