To be honest, i am not really sure what we would move and how to do it. Currently we have some wiki pages, but most of them are pretty old and completely outdated since we stopped caring for them after we dropped to only a few contributors and moved our focus to maintaining the project code itself.

The documentation on how to use the openstack-chef project as a combination of all these cookbooks, is located under https://github.com/openstack/openstack-chef-repo/tree/master/doc <https://github.com/openstack/openstack-chef-repo/tree/master/doc> (which might already be close to the right space ?). Looking through the openstack-manuals repo, i did not find any documentation specific for our projects, so i think we do not need to export/import any of it. In my opinion the easiest way to follow the proposed change of us would be to just move the stuff we have under the ‘openstack-chef-repo’ mentioned above and add some more files to follow the ‘minimal layout’. If you agree on this, i can try to push a patch for it next week and add you as a reviewer?

Yes, it sounds like you only need to move things you already have around into the new structure. You don’t need to create empty directories or pages for content that doesn’t apply, so if you don’t have any configuration guide instructions for example then you don’t need to create the configuration/ directory.

If you add me as a reviewer, I’ll help make sure you have it organized as expected. And if you use the doc-migration tag the other folks working on the migration will review the patch, too.
