-# Restructure AFL++'s documentation
-
-## About us
-
-We are dedicated to everything around fuzzing, our main and most well known
-contribution is the fuzzer `AFL++` which is part of all major Unix
-distributions (e.g. Debian, Arch, FreeBSD, etc.) and is deployed on Google's
-oss-fuzz and clusterfuzz. It is rated the top fuzzer on Google's fuzzbench.
-
-We are four individuals from Europe supported by a large community.
-
-All our tools are open source.
-
-## About the AFL++ fuzzer project
-
-AFL++ inherited it's documentation from the original Google AFL project.
-Since then it has been massively improved - feature and performance wise -
-and although the documenation has likewise been continued it has grown out
-of proportion.
-The documentation is done by non-natives to the English language, plus
-none of us has a writer background.
-
-We see questions on AFL++ usage on mailing lists (e.g. afl-users), discord
-channels, web forums and as issues in our repository.
-
-This only increases as AFL++ has been on the top of Google's fuzzbench
-statistics (which measures the performance of fuzzers) and is now being
-integrated in Google's oss-fuzz and clusterfuzz - and is in many Unix
-packaging repositories, e.g. Debian, FreeBSD, etc.
-
-AFL++ now has 44 (!) documentation files with 13k total lines of content.
-This is way too much.
-
-Hence AFL++ needs a complete overhaul of it's documentation, both on a 
-organisation/structural level as well as the content.
-
-Overall the following actions have to be performed:
-  * Create a better structure of documentation so it is easier to find the
-    information that is being looked for, combining and/or splitting up the
-    existing documents as needed.
-  * Rewrite some documentation to remove duplication. Several information is
-    present several times in the documentation. These should be removed to
-    where needed so that we have as little bloat as possible.
-  * The documents have been written and modified by a lot of different people,
-    most of them non-native English speaker. Hence an overall review where
-    parts should be rewritten has to be performed and then the rewrite done.
-  * Create a cheat-sheet for a very short best-setup build and run of AFL++
-  * Pictures explain more than 1000 words. We need at least 4 images that
-    explain the workflow with AFL++:
-      - the build workflow
-      - the fuzzing workflow
-      - the fuzzing campaign management workflow
-      - the overall workflow that is an overview of the above
-      - maybe more? where the technical writes seems it necessary for
-        understanding.
-
-Requirements:
-  * Documentation has to be in Markdown format
-  * Images have to be either in SVG or PNG format.
-  * All documentation should be (moved) in(to) docs/
-
-The project does not require writing new documentation or tutorials beside the
-cheat sheet. The technical information for the cheat sheet will be provided by
-us.
-
-## Metrics
-
-AFL++ is a the highest performant fuzzer publicly available - but is also the
-most feature rich and complex. With the publicity of AFL++' success and
-deployment in Google projects internally and externally and availability as
-a package on most Linux distributions we see more and more issues being
-created and help requests on our Discord channel that would not be
-necessary if people would have read through all our documentation - which
-is unrealistic.
-
-We expect the the new documenation after this project to be cleaner, easier
-accessible and lighter to digest by our users, resulting in much less
-help requests. On the other hand the amount of users using AFL++ should
-increase as well as it will be more accessible which would also increase
-questions again - but overall resulting in a reduction of help requests.
-
-In numbers: we currently have per week on average 5 issues on Github,
-10 questions on discord and 1 on mailing lists that would not be necessary
-with perfect documentation and perfect people.
-
-We would consider this project a success if afterwards we only have
-2 issues on Github and 3 questions on discord anymore that would be answered
-by reading the documentation. The mailing list is usually used by the most
-novice users and we don't expect any less questions there.
-
-## Project Budget
-
-We have zero experience with technical writers, so this is very hard for us
-to calculate. We expect it to be a lot of work though because of the amount
-of documentation we have that needs to be restructured and partially rewritten
-(44 documents with 13k total lines of content).
-
-We assume the daily rate of a very good and experienced technical writer in
-times of a pandemic to be ~500$ (according to web research), and calculate
-the overall amout of work to be around 20 days for everything incl. the
-graphics (but again - this is basically just guessing).
-
-Technical Writer                                              10000$
-Volunteer stipends                                                0$ (waved)
-T-Shirts for the top 10 contributors and helpers to this documentation project:
-	10 AFL++ logo t-shirts 		20$ each		200$
-	10 shipping cost of t-shirts    10$ each		100$
-
-Total: 10.300$
-(in the submission form 10.280$ was entered)
-
-## Additional Information
-
-We have participated in Google Summer of Code in 2020 and hope to be selected
-again in 2021.
-
-We have no experience with a technical writer, but we will support that person
-with video calls, chats, emails and messaging, provide all necessary information
-and write technical contents that is required for the success of this project.
-It is clear to us that a technical writer knows how to write, but cannot know
-the technical details in a complex tooling like in AFL++. This guidance, input,
-etc. has to come from us.
