HI,buddy. I'm sheldon.
I'm trying to develop virtual machine lifecycle management software using libvirt.
I found the development guide is very useful,it helps a lot.
But this book I download from offical website is a draft,there are a lot of funcitons
which are not claimed.
I appreciate very much that you give me some document that developers are being in
reference to .
Best wishes! keep in touch.
Yours sincely!

We'd love this doc to be more complete, but we're lacking people with
sufficient time / dedication to write for content for the docs. So I'm
afraid it'll probably be an incomplete, draft for a while yet :-( If
anyone out there is motivated to write more docs, we keep the source
in GIT http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-appdev-guide.git;a=summary
It is using DocBook XML format, to generate PDF + HTML output.

Daniel,thanks for replying !
i want to be involved with libvirt program, if I delicate myself to writing more content
for the docs,what could i do ?
I'm familiar with java and python,by the way ,i'm chinese,so there may be some
risks that the docs i write can not be understanded by others.
Best wishes!
Sheldon.

We have a review process, so even if your English isn't the strongest,
I'm sure reviewers would be glad to point out improvements if you take
the initiative to provide a starting point to comment on. If you want
to tackle doc improvements, I'd suggest first checking out the
appropriate git modules, and setting up your environment to the point
that you can get them built. Then, just like libvirt.git, patches to
the doc repositories are sent to this list; it might help to 'git config
format.subjectprefix "virshcmdref"' for libvirt-virshcmdref.git, and so
forth, so that reviewers can see by the subject line which repository a
patch is against.
If you decide the language barrier makes documentation too difficult for
your situation, then code patches are also welcome - basically, we are
open to any contribution from anyone willing to improve libvirt, whether
big or small.
Some advice on the mailing list: you may want to investigate setting
your mailer to wrap long lines, and we generally avoid top-posting on
technical lists.
