+Cache
+-----
+
+RDMO uses a cache for some of it's pages. In the development setup, this is done using local-memory caching. In production, we suggest using `memcached <https://memcached.org>`_. In order to do this you need to install python-memcached:
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+    pip install -r requirements/memcached.txt
+
+and add the following to your ``rdmo/settings/local.py``:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    CACHES = {
+        'default': {
+            'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache',
+            'LOCATION': '127.0.0.1:11211',
+            'KEY_PREFIX': 'rdmo'
+        }
+    }
