Hello, For sometime now, we have being considering how to improve on the current Puppet documentation available in the existing wiki. We knew that we needed to provide some curated documentation and that some of the curated documentation would be directly sourced from the wiki. We also wanted to encourage community engagement in the maintenance of the new documentation, because we believe strongly that community involvement makes better documentation.
Bruce Williams took the time to migrate some of the current wiki pages into our new documentation format. He also setup the infrastructure to maintain the docs. Basically, we are storing the documents in a public git repo and treating the documentation just like any other community project. This serves two essential purposes. Firstly, Reductive Labs will play an active roll in shepherding the documentation. This is not unlike the roll we currently play in managing our other projects. Secondly, we hope that this will be a nice way for new community members to become familiar with our bug reporting and contribution processes. We have moved the following documentation over to the new docs.reductivelabs.com location: http://docs.reductivelabs.com/guides/introduction.html http://docs.reductivelabs.com/guides/installation.html http://docs.reductivelabs.com/references Notice that the reference documentation is now archived for older releases. We know that this it is not yet comprehensive documentation but it is a start. If you would like to contribute or provide feedback, we have outlined that process as well. http://docs.reductivelabs.com/contribute.html For the time being, the old wiki will remain essentially unchanged. We will gradually move appropriate content into docs. We will continue to provide a wiki for community documentation. We just believe that there is room for curated documentation as well. We expect that wiki documentation will be a place where the community develops new documentation that once vetted may be appropriate for the docs. Or a place for detailed "how to" style docs about a specific aspect of configuration management. As always, your feedback is encouraged.
