Hi Anne, I accidentally found this email of yours while looking for links to my post. I'd probably have found it earlier if you cc'd me on ekirpic...@gmail.com or ekirpic...@mirantis.com [yes, that's two different spellings...] :)
I support the idea that this should be somehow integrated in the docs, but I'm not sure where exactly in the docs is a good place for information of this style. Would it help if I just linked to the posts from some wiki page or from the docs? Or would it only help if I (or somebody) actually merged the relevant parts of the posts into official documentation?
