Improving the Proxmox VE Documentation
 | 
						|
--------------------------------------
 | 
						|
ifdef::wiki[]
 | 
						|
:pve-toplevel:
 | 
						|
endif::wiki[]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Depending on which issue you want to improve, you can use a variety of
 | 
						|
communication mediums to reach the developers.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you notice an error in the current documentation, use the
 | 
						|
http://bugzilla.proxmox.com[Proxmox bug tracker] and propose an
 | 
						|
alternate text/wording.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you want to propose new content, it depends on what you want to
 | 
						|
document:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* if the content is specific to your setup, a wiki article is the best
 | 
						|
option. For instance if you want to document specific options for guest
 | 
						|
systems, like which combination of Qemu drivers work best with a less popular
 | 
						|
OS, this is a perfect fit for a wiki article.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* if you think the content is generic enough to be of interest for all users,
 | 
						|
then you should try to get it into the reference documentation. The reference
 | 
						|
documentation is written in the easy to use 'asciidoc' document format.
 | 
						|
Editing the official documentation requires to clone the git repository at
 | 
						|
`git://git.proxmox.com/git/pve-docs.git` and then follow the
 | 
						|
https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-docs.git;a=blob_plain;f=README.adoc;hb=HEAD[README.adoc] document.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Improving the documentation is just as easy as editing a Wikipedia
 | 
						|
article and is an interesting foray in the development of a large
 | 
						|
opensource project.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
NOTE: If you are interested in working on the {pve} codebase, the
 | 
						|
{webwiki-url}Developer_Documentation[Developer Documentation] wiki
 | 
						|
article will show you where to start.
