Blueprints and specifications

The Documentation team uses specifications in the docs-specs repository to maintain large changes. Approved specifications are published at Documentation Program Specifications. For tracking purposes, a blueprint is created for each specification.

Use blueprints and specifications:

  • When adding large sections to an existing document to ensure involvement of the core doc team.
  • When adding an entirely new deliverable to the docs project.
  • For any work that requires both content and tooling changes, such as addition of the API reference site.
  • For any large reorganization of a deliverable or set of deliverables.
  • For automation work that needs to be designed prior to proposing a patch.
  • For work that should definitely be discussed at a summit.

A specification needs two +2 votes from the docs-specs-core team. See the current list of docs-specs core team. For more information, see: Blueprints and specifications.

Use bugs against openstack-manuals or openstack-api-site:

  • For known content issues, even if you have to do multiple patches to close the bug.
  • To add content that is just missing.
  • For known errors in a document.
