Which is wrong. You can only have two of the three at the same time: CA, CP or AP.
If they get something as fundamental as this wrong, you have to wonder about the rest of the project.
Or it could just be a typo on the brand new webpage of a brand new project. Which it obviously is if you look at their explanation of CAP.
Just a simple typo. I've fixed it.
Thanks for pointing this out.

Well, yes. But that's not what the FAQ says; it says you can have at most one. The distinction is significant.
