sitemap: Generates the sitemap.xml file.
bin: Contains scripts for building documents in the openstack-manuals repository. Used inside the tox environments.

openstack-manuals repository

Several scripts currently reside in the openstack-manuals repository. It may be beneficial to consolidate these into the openstack-doc-tools repository.

www-generator.py: Generates static, template-based HTML files for https://docs.openstack.org/. See template-generator for details.
sync-projects.sh: Synchronizes the Glossary, common files, and some translations across multiple repositories, including api-site and security-doc.
publishdocs.sh: Publishdocs job uses this script to publish documentation to https://docs.openstack.org/.

Notes

openstack-doc-tools must be released so it can be pinned in requirements files, enabling automation to work across repositories.
There are many undocumented synchronizations (automated and manual) between the various documentation repositories. These should be documented.
There are a several jobs that must be run regularly, for example, updating the sitemap.xml file and the command line configuration reference. These should be documented.
Some manual jobs should be automated. For example, the sitemap.xml file should be automatically updated by the Gerritbot.
