- Point us to the repo and we can all start contributing . This Probably will simplify things for all of us because we won't have the wiki-rot problem anymore. Again I really like how this worked in the hbase community: hbase is a big program like gluster with similar need for diverse and ever evolving docs... And the code integrated docs really work well, and I think gluster is definetly ready for the same doc integration. > On Jan 7, 2014, at 10:14 PM, Anand Babu Periasamy <abperias...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> On Tue, Jan 7, 2014 at 5:40 PM, Joe Julian <j...@julianfamily.org> wrote: >> >>> On 01/07/2014 05:37 PM, Emmanuel Dreyfus wrote: >>> Joe Julian <j...@julianfamily.org> wrote: >>> >>>> docbook didn't work last time it was used.
