+
+## Overview
+
+A one-maybe-two sentence summary of what the module does/what problem it solves.
+This is your 30 second elevator pitch for your module. Consider including
+OS/Puppet version it works with.
+
+## Module Description
+
+If applicable, this section should have a brief description of the technology
+the module integrates with and what that integration enables. This section
+should answer the questions: "What does this module *do*?" and "Why would I use
+it?"
+
+If your module has a range of functionality (installation, configuration,
+management, etc.) this is the time to mention it.
+
+## Setup
+
+### What qdr affects
+
+* A list of files, packages, services, or operations that the module will alter,
+  impact, or execute on the system it's installed on.
+* This is a great place to stick any warnings.
+* Can be in list or paragraph form.
+
+### Setup Requirements **OPTIONAL**
+
+If your module requires anything extra before setting up (pluginsync enabled,
+etc.), mention it here.
+
+### Beginning with qdr
+
+The very basic steps needed for a user to get the module up and running.
+
+If your most recent release breaks compatibility or requires particular steps
+for upgrading, you may wish to include an additional section here: Upgrading
+(For an example, see http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/firewall).
+
+## Usage
+
+Put the classes, types, and resources for customizing, configuring, and doing
+the fancy stuff with your module here.
+
+## Reference
+
+Here, list the classes, types, providers, facts, etc contained in your module.
+This section should include all of the under-the-hood workings of your module so
+people know what the module is touching on their system but don't need to mess
+with things. (We are working on automating this section!)
+
+## Limitations
+
+This is where you list OS compatibility, version compatibility, etc.
+
+## Development
+
+Since your module is awesome, other users will want to play with it. Let them
+know what the ground rules for contributing are.
+
+## Release Notes/Contributors/Etc **Optional**
+
+If you aren't using changelog, put your release notes here (though you should
+consider using changelog). You may also add any additional sections you feel are
+necessary or important to include here. Please use the `## ` header.

+# The baseline for module testing used by Puppet Labs is that each manifest
+# should have a corresponding test manifest that declares that class or defined
+# type.
+#
+# Tests are then run by using puppet apply --noop (to check for compilation
+# errors and view a log of events) or by fully applying the test in a virtual
+# environment (to compare the resulting system state to the desired state).

+# ===========================
+#
+# Full description of class qdr here.
+#
+# Parameters
+# ----------
+#
+# Document parameters here.
+#
+# * `sample parameter`
+# Explanation of what this parameter affects and what it defaults to.
+# e.g. "Specify one or more upstream ntp servers as an array."
+#
+# Variables
+# ----------
+#
+# Here you should define a list of variables that this module would require.
+#
+# * `sample variable`
+#  Explanation of how this variable affects the function of this class and if
+#  it has a default. e.g. "The parameter enc_ntp_servers must be set by the
+#  External Node Classifier as a comma separated list of hostnames." (Note,
+#  global variables should be avoided in favor of class parameters as
+#  of Puppet 2.6.)
+#
+# Examples
+# --------
+#
+# @example
+#    class { 'qdr':
+#      servers => [ 'pool.ntp.org', 'ntp.local.company.com' ],
+#    }
