[ahmedthabet]

I’m happy to share that we are having a simpler platform to develop/contribute to the documentation of the grid based on mdbook you can already check it at https://manual.grid.tf, all sorts of contribution are welcome https://github.com/threefoldtech/info_grid either by opening an issue, or sending an enhancement using a pull request or even providing feedback here in this thread. Let us know what you think and how we can improve! Thanks

Awesome! This looks much better and has way better structure. Great work! I’ll try to contribute here and there.

That is very nice. I think it will be way more efficient to create and contribute to the documentation with mdbook.

Thanks!

It is!

It is not on the Playgroud, but on its own subdomain:

• Fork the Development branch
• Make changes in your personal Github repository
  • To add a new markdown file:
    • Add the new md file to the src directory.
    • Add the path of the md file to SUMMARY.
  • To modify an existing markdown file:
    • Make the changes in the markdown file directly
• Ask for a pull request on the Threefold repository
  • If you want, you can tag @xmonader on Github. He will review the pull request gladly!
• Once the pull request is accepted, the changes of the Development branch are available here: https://www2.manual.grid.tf
