Thanks, Erik!
Is there a discussion forum where contributors can discuss documentation? I
believe that, like all things in technology, there should be a set of
conventions that guide authors in the use of common terms. e.g., Xen? Or Xen
Project? Or XenServer?

Hello, All:
Hi Eric!
I'd like to contribute to the Cloudstack project documentation.
That's excellent!
What's the process for that? Is there a SIG? Are there guidelines or a style
guide?
We use ReStructuredText to write our documentation and and readthedocs to
display them.
Generally there are two ways to edit the documentation.
1) Edit it on GitHub. Go to any source file and press the 'Fork this project
and edit the file'. This method gives easy access, but it is harder to preview
the result, and you are stuck with the GitHub UI
2) Fork the project(s) and edit in your favorite editor. This requires that you
have or learn some basic git knowledge.
You can find the following repositories on GitHub:
Administration guide: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-docs-admin
Installation guide: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-docs-install
Getting started: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-docs
Release notes: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-docs-rn
As for guidelines and/or style guides I'm not sure we have any, I guess we are
open for suggestions :-)
