Thanks for picking up that work. It's good to see movement here! There are some thing I'm missing: * How to arrange modules, what constitutes a module? There's this quip "If you ever wonder whether X is running, X should be a module." Also, some thoughts about how using external modules works? * Environments and the workflow surrounding them There is already UsingMultipleEnvironments, which has all the technical stuff. Perhaps a few sentences about how to use the production, testing, and development environment. * An overview of the recommended filesystem layout What goes to /etc/puppet, where to put modules and modules in different environments. * Using an external node classifier to split configuration (node+data+class list) and manifests (modules and manifests) * Recommend to replace complete config files instead of "editing" it in-place. Thank you again for your time and work!
