I'm going to add redundancy support to that whole subsystem, but it's not there yet.

You tried to access a document for which you don't have privileges.

Is there some sort of manual available for this? I'm not quite sure how I am supposed to use it. Thanks.

There's a docs directory with READMEs, but not for the basic use yet - dsss help should tell you most of what you need to know to just build stuff.  If you actually want to configure your software to use DSSS, read docs/README.software_engineer
