Hi Jay,

I think that's a perfectly reasonable solution for the moment, and hopefully we'll have the new solution up and running as soon as possible.

Please let us know if there's anything you could use a hand with.

This allows us to enforce contributors having documentation changes or additions merge at the same time or in close proximity to the code changes and is much easier for us to interact with. I have the willingness to help implement admin guides in-tree sooner, but if the docs team doesn't want this yet obviously there's nothing to help with.

My recommendation will be option B as listed by Ruby; build out a better admin-guide in tree as part of our developer docs, and migrate them over, just like we did for the install guide, when the work to allow in-tree admin guides is complete.

We now have duplicated (and perhaps out-of-sync) admin-related information in our developer docs [1] as well as in the official admin guide [2] -- the latter content was added but I am unaware of that knowledge/coordination being done with the ironic community :-(
