<div dir="ltr">Andreas,<div><br></div><div>I consider the API documentation and installation guide rather complex for initial content to move to project repositories and evaluate the results. However, we're seeing rather strong adoption of moving API documentation which I think predicts adoption of moving operator/user documentation more than the installation guide. Regardless of outcome, the API documentation caters to a smaller audience with at least some knowledge of OpenStack and/or development experience, thus having less impact on adoption of OpenStack. On the other hand, the installation guide is extremely popular and caters to a larger audience with little (if any) prior knowledge of OpenStack that expects the procedures to work with minimal frustration. Victimizing this audience hinders adoption of OpenStack and may cast the wrong impression of moving content into project repositories.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 11, 2016 at 3:52 PM, Michael Johnson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:johnsomor@gmail.com" target="_blank">johnsomor@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I support putting infrastructure in place to allow the project<br>

Having it in the repository makes it easier to review that the<br>
