What matters most, is for someone to volunteer maintaining it. What usually happens: - there are only minimal documentation available (the devs focus on the code), most info are available from users list - someone would volunteer to maintain some sort of documentation, or the devs would eventually get to it. - after some time, the docs might end up lagging due to real life problems - some incorrect, or works-but-confusing info would end up in the "wiki" - no one would step up to be the new doc maintaner Maybe github is all those things and its my lack of familiarity & daily use > of it that makes me feel otherwise but I think the fact that on the LXD > Github there are currently only 85 contributors *(nearly all are > coder/devs) makes me think that many people may just not know "how" to add > LXD related "user" generated content like this via gitub*? > > There's a learning curve, but not really that hard.

Then link to it anytime a relevant question pop up on this list. -- Fajar
