As you know, we're always looking for ways for people to be able to
contribute to Docs, but we do understand that there's a certain
amount of pain involved in dealing with Docbook. So to try and make
this process easier, we're going to try an experiment.<br>
<br>
What we've put together is a system where you can update a wiki with
links to content in whatever form you've got it -- gist on github,
wiki page, blog post, whatever -- and we have a dedicated resource
that will turn it into actual documentation, in Docbook. If you want
to be added as a co-author on the patch, make sure to provide us the
email address you used to become a Foundation member.<br>
<br>
Because we know that the networking documentation needs particular
attention, we're starting there. We have a Networking Guide, from
which we will ultimately pull information to improve the networking
section of the admin guide. The preliminary Table of Contents is
here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/NetworkingGuide/TOC">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/NetworkingGuide/TOC</a>
, and the instructions for contributing are as follows:<br>
<br>
<ol style="padding: 0px; margin: 0.3em 0px 0px 3.2em; color: rgb(51,
51, 51); font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS', Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;
font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 20px;
orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px;
text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto;
word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;
background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
<li style="line-height: 20px;">Pick an existing topic or create a
new topic. For new topics, we're primarily interested in
deployment scenarios.</li>
<li style="line-height: 20px;">Develop content (text and/or
diagrams) in a format that supports at least basic markup (e.g.,
titles, paragraphs, lists, etc.).</li>
<li style="line-height: 20px;">Provide a link to the content
(e.g., gist on github.com, wiki page, blog post, etc.) under the
associated topic.</li>
<li style="line-height: 20px;">Send e-mail to reviewers <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:networking@openstacknow.com">networking@openstacknow.com</a>.</li>
<li style="line-height: 20px;">A writer turns the content into an
actual patch, with tracking bug, and docs reviewers (and the
original author, we would hope) make sure it gets reviewed and
merged.<span class=""><br>
</span></li>
</ol>
<br>
Please let us know if you have any questions/comments. Thanks!<br>
