I'm pretty sure that page is all about how to send patches. It starts out with "Send changes to Open vSwitch as patches to d...@openvswitch.org. One patch per email. More details are included below." I don't think there's any way to prevent forking on Github. > * Where are logs saved? The docs don't say.

The default is whatever you passed to configure with --with-logdir. You can override that at runtime with --log-file. > * The "Basic configuration FAQ" talks about "access ports".

See ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5). http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/faq/vlan/ also has an introduction to VLANs. > Other documentation improvement ideas: > > * There are two entries for `ovsdb` on this > page<http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/ref/>.

You can use whatever you use for other OpenFlow switches. OVS is an OpenFlow implementation and it's not the primary goal of the documentation to provide OpenFlow tutorials. > * The "Basic configuration FAQ" should have a more basic example, ovs-vsctl(8) has tons of simple configuration examples.
