FAQ Documentation HowTo

Documentation is community-oriented and available for different audiences on several websites - this wiki is for project or release documentation, the developer documentation for the projects is on docs.openstack.org/developer for example. For official documentation, see docs.openstack.org. To log a bug against the documentation, go to http://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals or http://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-api-site.

There's also an OpenStack documentation mailing list and IRC channel at #openstack-doc.

The Documentation Project Team Lead (PTL) is Anne Gentle.
