I’d love to help out with this. @jeysal: do you have a thought as to where in the docs the list of environment variables should be? I was thinking maybe a new page under the “API Reference” section? Or just add it to Getting Started, although it doesn’t seem like a getting-started thing? Maybe add a section to Globals?
