+Package feeds defines Swarm Feeds.
+
+Swarm Feeds allows a user to build an update feed about a particular topic
+without resorting to ENS on each update.
+The update scheme is built on swarm chunks with chunk keys following
+a predictable, versionable pattern.
+
+A Feed is tied to a unique identifier that is deterministically generated out of
+the chosen topic.
+
+A Feed is defined as the series of updates of a specific user about a particular topic
+
+Actual data updates are also made in the form of swarm chunks. The keys
+of the updates are the hash of a concatenation of properties as follows:
+
+updateAddr = H(Feed, Epoch ID)
+where H is the SHA3 hash function
+Feed is the combination of Topic and the user address
+Epoch ID is a time slot. See the lookup package for more information.
+
+A user looking up a the latest update in a Feed only needs to know the Topic
+and the other user's address.
+
+The Feed Update data is:
+updatedata = Feed|Epoch|data
+
+The full update data that goes in the chunk payload is:
+updatedata|sign(updatedata)
+
+Structure Summary:
+
+Request: Feed Update with signature
+	Update: headers + data
+		Header: Protocol version and reserved for future use placeholders
+		ID: Information about how to locate a specific update
+			Feed: Represents a user's series of publications about a specific Topic
+				Topic: Item that the updates are about
+				User: User who updates the Feed
+			Epoch: time slot where the update is stored

-/*
-Package mru defines Mutable resource updates.
-
-A Mutable Resource is an entity which allows updates to a resource
-without resorting to ENS on each update.
-The update scheme is built on swarm chunks with chunk keys following
-a predictable, versionable pattern.
-
-A Resource is tied to a unique identifier that is deterministically generated out of
-the chosen topic.
-
-A Resource View is defined as a specific user's point of view about a particular resource.
-Thus, a View is a Topic + the user's address (userAddr)
-
-Actual data updates are also made in the form of swarm chunks. The keys
-of the updates are the hash of a concatenation of properties as follows:
-
-updateAddr = H(View, Epoch ID)
-where H is the SHA3 hash function
-View is the combination of Topic and the user address
-Epoch ID is a time slot. See the lookup package for more information.
-
-A user looking up a resource would only need to know the View in order to
-another user's updates
-
-The resource update data is:
-resourcedata = View|Epoch|data
-
-the full update data that goes in the chunk payload is:
-resourcedata|sign(resourcedata)
-
-Structure Summary:
-
-Request: Resource update with signature
-	ResourceUpdate: headers + data
-		Header: Protocol version and reserved for future use placeholders
-		ID: Information about how to locate a specific update
-			View: Author of the update and what is updating
-				Topic: Item that the updates are about
-				User: User who updates the resource
-			Epoch: time slot where the update is stored
-
