+
+To create your own documentation, Create any number of directories (depending on your need) and place in each of them an index.rst.

+
+When you push documentation changes to gerrit a jenkins job will create html documentation.
+
+* Verify Jobs
+For verify jobs a link to the documentation will show up as a comment in gerrit for you to see the result.
+
+* Merge jobs
+
+Once you are happy with the look of your documentation you can submit the patchset the merge job will
+copy the output of each documentation directory to http://artifacts.opnfv.org/$project/docs/$name_of_your_folder/index.html
