Friends and Colleagues,

Many in the Evergreen community have expressed a desire for more documentation describing new features in Evergreen. Others have requested that those who write documentation produce it in more formats, including asciidoc. ESI trainers and developers have been thinking about how to help the Evergreen community meet its documentation needs and, to that end, are making some changes to the way that we produce documentation.

In every new development contract, the cost is inclusive of basic end user documentation, written by our trainers, that will be released to the Evergreen community. If possible, we will release documentation in advance of the scheduled software release. We will publish the documentation on the ESI website in both asciidoc and HTML formats to make new documentation accessible to the community. Community members or DIG members can adapt the documentation to community or local needs in accordance with the CC-BY-NC-SA license that is listed on each document. Finally, we'll make an announcement to the community every time new documentation is available for download. You can also check our blog or website for updates on documentation.

We have started this project by posting documentation for many of the new features that developers have introduced into the current 2.1 release and the forthcoming 2.2 release.

To access documentation, point your browser to:

We're always trying to find ways to contribute to the documentation interests of the Evergreen community. Please continue to let us know how we can contribute to Evergreen documentation!

Thanks,
Sally
