Hi,
We now have libvirt advanced at 0.9.3, but there is almost no
progress has been made on Virsh Command Reference. I'm now
starting on updating Virsh Command Reference to get it synced
with libvirt/virsh, but since I'm not a native-English speaker,
there must be grammers, typos, etc. in the documents written
by me, so any comments on these are appreciated. Besides,
comments on other errors, such as example usages, are also
welcome.
In this series, docs for two cmmands are updated. I'll post more
patches for other commands subsequently.

Apologies Hu, I just don't have time to spend on this.
Is anyone else interested in picking this stuff up?
Regards and best wishes,

For future reference, it would help to put [libvirt-virshcmdref] in the
subject line, to make it obvious that the patch is in relation to
libvirt-virshcmdref.git instead of the primary libvirt.git.

I've gone ahead and pushed these two patches - they looked okay to me,
and are strictly better than what was there before.
Is anyone else interested in picking this stuff up?
Documentation is indeed important, even if it tends to lag. I'm not
sure if I have the right environment set up (I only pushed the source
files, but it looks like the practice has also been to store generated
files in the virshcmdref repository). When I tried to rebuild things on
Fedora 14 with 'make', I got an error:

so if someone is more familiar with publican, help would be welcome.

First you need to clone & build this module, using 'autobuild.sh'
http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-publican.git;a=summary
Install the resulting RPMs, and then you should be able to
build the command ref and app dev guides, again using
autobuild.sh. I have a nightly build of this stuff working
on F15 so you shouldn't need anything special that's not in
the distro
