this new inclusion literally, so if you would like your project to be
documented at docs.o.o, then doc must be introduced and reviewed one month
before the branch is cut.
Which docs are these? There are several different sets of docs that are
hosted on docs.o.o that are managed within a project repo. Are you saying those
won't get pushed to
docs.o.o if they are patched within a month of the cycle release?
The only sets of docs that are published on the docs.o.o site that are managed
in project-specific repos is the project-specific installation guides. That
management is entirely up to the team themselves, but I would like to push for
the integration of a “documentation review” period to ensure that those teams
are reviewing their docs in their own tree.
This is a preferential suggestion, not a demand. I cannot make you review your
documentation at any given period.
The ‘month before’ that I refer to would be for introduction of documentation
and a review period. I will not stop any documentation being pushed to the repo
unless, of course, it is untested and breaks the installation process.

certain projects. This means we have released with incorrect/out-of-date
documentation. This is not only an unfortunately bad reflection on our team,
but on the project teams themselves.
