D0 - D0bar Mixing: An Overview

Recently, the B factory experiments BABAR and Belle as well as the CDF collaboration found evidence for mixing in the D meson system. The current status (beginning of summer 2008) of the experimental results of D{sup 0} mixing is summarized. In this paper, we present an overview of D{sup 0} mixing. After an introduction to the charm mixing phenomenology and analysis techniques, results of the mixing parameters and CP violation as related to mixing are summarized. They are obtained from hadronic two-body, multi-body final states and from quantum correlated D{sup 0} decays of the experiments BABAR, Belle, Cleo and CDF. Mixing results from semileptonic D{sup 0} decays can be found elsewhere
