The docs page about timestamps in BigchainDB was temporarily removed from the docs by PR #817. The timestamps.md file itself was put back (and edited) but it was never put back in the index. This commit puts it back in the index.

BigchainDB Documentation
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
`BigchainDB <https://www.bigchaindb.com/>`_ is a scalable blockchain database.
|
|
That is, it's a "big data" database with some blockchain characteristics added, including `decentralization <decentralized.html>`_,
|
|
`immutability <immutable.html>`_
|
|
and
|
|
`native support for assets <assets.html>`_.
|
|
You can read about the motivations, goals and high-level architecture in the `BigchainDB whitepaper <https://www.bigchaindb.com/whitepaper/>`_.
|
|
|
|
At a high level, one can communicate with a BigchainDB cluster (set of nodes) using the BigchainDB Client-Server HTTP API, or a wrapper for that API, such as the BigchainDB Python Driver. Each BigchainDB node runs BigchainDB Server and various other software. The `terminology page <terminology.html>`_ explains some of those terms in more detail.
