Documentation Guide
===================
-This page intends to cover the documentation handling for OPNFV. OPNFV projects are expected to create a variety of document types,
-according to the nature of the project. Some of these are common to projects that develop/integrate features into the OPNFV platform, e.g.
-Installation Instructions and User/Configurations Guides. Other document types may be project-specific.

Release documentation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Release documentation is the set of documents that are published for each OPNFV release. These documents are created and developed
following the OPNFV release process and milestones and should reflect the content of the OPNFV release.
-These documents have a master index.rst file in the <opnfvdocs> repository and extract content from other repositories.
-To provide content into these documents place your <content>.rst files in a directory in your repository that matches the master document
-and add a reference to that file in the correct place in the corresponding index.rst file in :code:`opnfvdocs/docs/release/`.
