About
======

The MongoElector project provides two pieces of distributed coordination;
Distributed locks via 'MongoLocker' and master elections via 'MongoElector'.
MongoElector makes heavy use of MongoLocker, but the locking functionality
within MongoLocker can be used separately.


* Free software: GPLv3
* Documentation: https://mongoelector.readthedocs.io.

.. NOTE::
As of 0.3.0 release, the distributed master election functionality is working.
Additional features and functionality as well as bug fixes and minor API changes
will be ongoing over the next couple of minor releases.
