Patchwork users can store a to-do list of patches.
+## Events
+
+Events are raised whenever patches are created or modified.
+
+All events have a number of common properties, along with some event-specific
+properties:
+
+<dl>
+ <dt>category</dt>
+ <dd>The type of event</dd>
+ <dt>project<dt>
+ <dd>The project this event belongs to</dd>
+ <dt>date</dt>
+ <dd>When this event was created</dd>
+</dl>
+
+**NOTE:** Checks can only be created and read through the Patchwork APIs. Refer
+to the [API documentation][doc-api] for more information.

+
+### What's Not Exposed
+
+* Bundles
+
+ We don't expose an "added to bundle" event as it's unlikely that this will
+ be useful to either users or CI setters.
+
+* Comments
+
+ Like Bundles, there likely isn't much value in exposing these via the API.
