[ansible-devel] Collection module documentation available now on docs.ansible.com for review
*Collection module documentation available now on docs.ansible.com for review* After significant months of effort, we have now restored the module-level documentation on docs.ansible.com! This effort required coordination between the Ansible docs team and the community team and developers to pull the module documentation from the collections on Galaxy and publish them on our docsite again. While there's more work to do, we'd like all collection maintainers to take a look at your respective collections and let us know where you see problems: 1. Go to https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.10/collections/index.html 2. Verify your collection module and plugin documentation looks valid. 3. See https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/issues for a list of known issues and enhancements we are already tracking. Before you open an issue, please drop into the #ansible-docs IRC channel to discuss/troubleshoot any problems you are seeing. *Known issues and Important Caveats* - The documentation reflect the version of each collection that is in the current Ansible 2.10 Alpha. We will update after each alpha release to pick up whatever collection version is in that release. - On 2.10 official release, the documentation will stay fixed at the collection version in that release. We will not be able to update until the next Ansible release (2.10.1 for example). - Boolean default is showing 0. This is fixed and will be updated in the docs soon. - community.general module docs are not present yet. This should be fixed soon as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Development" group.

[ansible-devel] Looking for help testing Ansible Documentation redirects
Hi everyone! I'm one of the Ansible documentation writers and we're looking for some help testing the updated docsite for collections. With Ansible 2.10, all the module documentation pages are moving to new URLs based on the collections those modules live in now. To make this transition smoother for users, we've implemented a number of redirects on the docsite so that you can smoothly go from the module in 2.9 to the module docs in 2.10. We need as many people as possible to go test out that this works without giving any 404 errors. *Steps to test:* 1. Go to http://docs.testing.ansible.com/ansible/2.10/collections/index.html, click on a collection, then click on a module or plugin. You'll see the new collection-based module documentation. 2. Edit the resulting URL to replace 2.10 with 2.9. You should see the documentation for 2.9 for that same module or plugin. 3. Edit that URL again to replace 2.9 with 2.10. You should come back to the page you started with. The only time you should get a 404 error is if the module is new in 2.10, or if an older module was removed from 2.10. Report any other 404s you find on #ansible-docs IRC if you hang out there, or email them to d...@ansible.com *Note* - that URL is only to the documentation test site which is subject to change. We'll keep it constant for a few days to gather any feedback you all have. The version-switcher on the top left isn't accurate so please just edit the url directly to go back and forth between 2.9 and 2.10. And thanks for your help! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Development" group.

[ansible-devel] Ansible package proposal to remove .rst files from tarballs
Hi folks - Currently, the Ansible package tarballs and the individual collection tarballs include .RST files. This adds to the overall size of these packages, so we are considering removing them, and instead, creating a separate `ansible-documentation` tarball that includes the .RST files and possibly the generated HTML (so users can have an offline version of the documentation that matches their Ansible tarball version). Please see https://github.com/ansible-collections/overview/discussions/120 for details and add your feedback! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Development" group.
