<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">I like the enthusiasm

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">To answer your questions Ildiko, they are usually in-tree:
<a href="https://github.com/openstack/swift/tree/master/install-guide/source">https://github.com/openstack/swift/tree/master/install-guide/source</a> (just an example)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Not to shoot everyone down in flames straight away but we need to have a deep dive discussion about this at the PTG before we create repos and build environments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Our Install Guides and Deployment Guide methods are based off what you are suggesting. I would recommend reading the project-specific install guide plan here:
<a href="http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/docs-specs/specs/newton/project-specific-installguides.html">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">That being said, it is up to the project to include the relevant administration guide section, and not up to us. We would have to ensure several of the following things:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">We have the bandwidth to plan and action this item – which, at the moment, I have every intention of directing our team to on our already large pile of technical debt. I would
prefer not to add any more without dedicated free resources.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">I would like to take these ideas and bring them to table at the PTG and ensure, first of all, we have full team support. After that, we need to ensure we have a fully approved specification
similar to the one above.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Please do not take this as a deterrence from any major discussion points, I think this is definitely a conversation we should be having.
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Wingdings">J</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"> But we already have a large list of items to tackle for the Pike release and it is my job to ensure they are actioned and that we are not
overloading our shrinking team.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Hopefully this answers some of your questions, and positions us for some good conversations and planning points at the PTG

<br>
TL;DR I have an old bug report for the Admin Guide which targeted the way how it is versioned, or maybe rather not versioned and which also implied other actions on that document, for which we weren’t ready at the time of reporting the issue.<br>
<br>
The bug report is the following:<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1458820"><span style="color:purple">https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1458820</span></a><br>
<br>
The bug report itself highlights that it is hard both from usage and from maintenance perspective to handle a document which contains information about at least three OpenStack releases in an iterative way. When someone tries to figure out what belongs to one
single OpenStack release in it they need to put it together from an original state and the changes since that. In case of Telemetry we had issues with listing the collected meters in a user friendly way for instance.<br>
<br>
Another big issue with the Admin Guide is the maintenance, which is tough with having the source files in a separate, centralized repository far away from the code where the changes happen. This way core reviewers have a hard time to keep the document in sync
with the code as they cannot effectively -1 a code change as it *cannot* contain the doc changes.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

I agree, it gets messy.<br>

The reason I bring this up now again as I see the experiment with moving the Install Guide chapters to the project repositories a successful initiative, I remember seeing positive feedbacks about that move on the ML, etc. I think someone brought even up the
Admin Guide as next candidate to a similar move.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

We implemented the Deployment Guides in Ocata, and if we go by requests alone, then the Admin Guide is the next on the list.<br>

I would like to ask the Docs Team for their opinions about this topic. I see a lot of advantage in having the documentation living together with the code and also having version controlled together with the code. This would also remove some of the burden from
the Docs team as well, which I see a beneficial change too.<br>
<br>
What is your view about this? Could this be a good topic for the upcoming PTG too maybe?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

I think it's sensible to consider, at the very least. Can you add it to the PTG etherpad for discussion?<br>
