Hi Francesco,

Thanks for your help.   No problem on committing the Asciidocs.  Do you
have any preference on where you think I should commit my helm charts?   I
was thinking right under the root "docker" folder but you know the code
base much better than I do.   For reference it is a set of folders:

k8s
-helm (Has a README)
--postgres (holds custom values and chart)
---templates (holds the K8s YAMLs)
--syncope (holds custom values and chart)
---templates (holds the K8s YAMLs)
