We should make a jira issue for this and resolve it. Also the 0.1.3 branch is considered the most stable version, and we about to start making larger changes on the master but the branches (master and 0.1.3) are still pretty close at this point. So just beware that the current documentation on github applies to the 0.1.3 branch. > > We're just getting started in incubation and haven't migrated the > getting started guide yet so for now you'll find the old getting > started guide helpful: > > https://github.com/nearinfinity/blur > > Thanks, > --tim > If you have any trouble with these instructions please let us know. This thread with help to drive a "Getting Started" wiki page. Again welcome!
