    I made some very minor changes to the introduction at descent. I hesitate to do more but at present the discussion does not seem that readable to me. Can someone look at it to see what they think? The intro seems to plunge in deep very quickly and so the ‘idea’ of descent as that of gluing local information together, does not come across to me. The article is lso quite long and perhaps needs splitting up a bit.

    I have added a couple of clarifying lines in the idea section. I do not consider the article too long though as so many viewpoints emerge even in the most basic treatment of the topic.

    Redirecting ∞-descent here, since apparently the nLab makes no distinction between descent and ∞-descent. (Should it?)

    Improve wording: The category of sheaves is not a functor.
