 Receiving live updates on a client
 ----------------------------------
-- C-S longpoll event stream
-- Concept of start/end tokens.
-- Mention /initialSync to get token.
+Clients can receive new events by long-polling the home server. This will hold open the
+HTTP connection for a short period of time waiting for new events, returning early if an
+event occurs. This is called the "Event Stream". All events which the client is authorised 
+to view will appear in the event stream. When the stream is closed, an ``end`` token is 
+returned. This token can be used in the next request to continue where the client left off.
 
+When the client first logs in, they will need to initially synchronise with their home
+server. This is achieved via the ``/initialSync`` API. This API also returns an ``end``
+token which can be used with the event stream.
 
 Rooms
 =====
-- How are they created? PDU anchor point: "root of the tree".
+
+Creation
+--------
+To create a room, a client has to use the ``/createRoom`` API. There are various options
+which can be set when creating a room:
+
+``visibility``
+  Type: 
+    String
+  Optional: 
+    Yes
+  Value:
+    Either ``public`` or ``private``.
+  Description:
+    A ``public`` visibility indicates that the room will be shown in the public room list. A
+    ``private`` visibility will hide the room from the public room list. Rooms default to
+    ``public`` visibility if this key is not included.
+
+``room_alias_name``
+  Type: 
+    String
+  Optional: 
+    Yes
+  Value:
+    The room alias localpart.
+  Description:
+    If this is included, a room alias will be created and mapped to the newly created room.
+    The alias will belong on the same home server which created the room, e.g.
+    ``!qadnasoi:domain.com >>> #room_alias_name:domain.com``
+
+Example::
+
+  {
+    "visibility": "public",

+- Can invite users to a room if the room config key TODO is set to TODO. Must have required power level.

+- What does the home server have to do?
+
+The purpose of inviting users to a room is to notify them that the room exists 
+so they can choose to become a member of that room. Some rooms require that all 
+users who join a room are previously invited to it (an "invite-only" room). 
+Whether a given room is an "invite-only" room is determined by the room config 
+key ``TODO``. It can have one of the following values:
+
+ - TODO Room config invite only value explanation
+ - TODO Room config free-to-join value explanation
+
+Only users who have a membership state of ``join`` in a room can invite new 
+users to said room. The person being invited must not be in the ``join`` state 
+in the room. The fully-qualified user ID must be specified when inviting a user, 
+as the user may reside on a different home server. To invite a user, send the 
+following request to ``/rooms/<room id>/invite``, which will manage the 
+entire invitation process::
+
+  {
+    "user_id": "<user id to invite>"
+  }
+
+Alternatively, the membership state for this user in this room can be modified 
+directly by sending the following request to 
+``/rooms/<room id>/state/m.room.member/<url encoded user id>``::
+
+  {
+    "membership": "invite"
+  }
+
+See the "Room events" section for more information on ``m.room.member``.

+Leaving rooms

+- Must be joined to leave. How does this affect /initialSync?
+- Not ever being in a room is NOT equivalent to have left it (due to membership: leave).
