Documentation Standards¶

While contributions to the documentation for the puppet project are encouraged and appreciated, please : 1. Please make sure the documentation you are creating doesn’t

    already exist.
2.  Please try your best to use your best spelling, punctuation,
    mechanics, and grammar skills.
3.  Please *tag* every document you add to the Wiki. If you aren't
    sure what tags to use, please refer to the
    [List of Current Tags](http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/tags/)
    and include all that apply. This small amount of effort on your
    part will make a big difference in the quality of our
    documentation. For areas in a file that need fixing, please add the
    word FIXME and a comment somewhere near the part that needs to be
    fixed and add the tag FIXME to the page.
4.  Every piece of documentation added to the Wiki should have an
    entry in the [[Documentation Start]] and [[TOC]] . If you add
    documentation, please update these documents.
5.  Documents formatted in
    [Restructured Text](http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html) are
    preferred to the default
    [Wiki Formatting](http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/WikiFormatting)
    used by Trac, but we appreciate documentation in any format.
