Standing Ovation!

This document is just phenomenal, thanks a million for putting it
together, it gives a comprehensive view of the basic structure of SSSD
like one would dream to be able to find for most programs out there.

A really good job Yassir (and all contributors), very much appreciated!

Simo.

It is assumed that the reader is already familiar with the external usage of SSSD. The intended audience of this document are new contributors to the SSSD project. This document is not intended to be comprehensive. For additional details on specific features, please refer to the various ​Design Documents. This document does not discuss the details of building, installing, and debugging SSSD. More information on these topics can be found in the ​Developer Pages, and the ​Documentation. To be most useful, this document should be updated as appropriate, and reviewed at regular intervals.
