Re: [Gluster-devel] Gluster Programmers' Guide

Thanks jeff !!!  this will be very useful !

- Might i suggest using git + docbook for this?  

- I dont mind to set up the project on glusterforge along with the initial docbook format to get things rolling.

- Both Bigtop and HBase have used docbook, and I really like the results: It glues docs in with the dev culture and helps to make the "keeping the wiki up to date" problem a thing of the past.
For example, you can see that the docbook docs in the source code: https://github.com/apache/hbase/tree/trunk/src/main/docbkx are reflected into the hbase docs: http://hbase.apache.org/book.html

Subject: [Gluster-devel] Gluster Programmers' Guide

One of my projects for this year is to create a GlusterFS Programmers' Guide.  This will include information on:

* General architecture

* Internal APIs

* Internals of various translators

* Building and debugging

Basically, it should cover everything a programmer needs in order to be productive working on GlusterFS code.  As a first (small) step, I've created an outline here:

Anyone should be able to add comments.  Please feel free to do so, e.g. to add sections I've missed.  Also, with this many sections and each one requiring *at least* a page or two (much more in some cases), this looks like it will be 200+ pages.  If you're interested in writing or collaborating on one of the sections, please let me know either in a comment or by sending me email.
