rPath Documentation Status Update
There are many changes on the horizon for rPath Documentation.
One of the things that team docs here has known for a while is that the rPath wiki is a fantastic tool to leverage for documentation. It’s quick. It’s easy. It allows engineers to contribute directly to the wiki. It allows community members to contribute to to the wiki.
We’ve also known for a while that this tool has a major caveat...and that is that versioned documentation is costly.
