So, last week mdobrev, discr33t, oogs, and timo (and me as secretary :P)
had a quick hangout to discuss a starting point for this. We took raw notes
at http://pad-katello.rhcloud.com/p/hadocs but here is my edited
highlights. Guys, correct me if I missed anything ;)

Greg

###
HA Docs Kickoff - 11/10

On location of WIP docs:
* Considerations were ease of collaboration, potential loss of edits and/or
author history, and testing that it renders well.
* Currently unsure if this should live in the Foreman manual eventually (as
it may be quite large), probably a separate doc
* For now, a separate repo can hold the WIP allowing easy collaboration.

Other points

* Need to detail the concepts & choices the user will need to decide on (eg
pass-through vs termination)
  * Important to detail the tradeoffs in each case
    * e.g. HA for scale is not the same as HA for availability
  * It's ok to be opinionated, (e.g. the installer already is)

* Pick one set of answers to those questions for the first cut, then expand
after
  * Get a picture/workflow of how the doc will look
  * The Sat6 doc is very good, for one specific set of answers to those
questions

* Focus on open-source HA tools
  * users of bigger pieces of equipment probably know enough to work from
there

* Choice of initial platform matters a lot - eg HA katello would be much
more complex

* Probably makes sense to begin from a clean installer run

* Get a list of the services that need to be tackled - foreman, proxy, db,
dhcp, dns, even the cronjobs
  * Also things like passenger tuning

* Some initial prior art in the blogs by discr33t and mdobrev

* Long term plan to consider additional modules for the installer to handle
this automatically

Actions:

[action] Greg to spin up a basic Jekyll site using the main theforeman.org
config for initial hacking
[discr33t] Dig up notes on the some of the pain points he hit previously
[oogs] Look into standalone SSL switchover docs (not directly connected but
useful)
