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. At 2013-03-19 20:28:34,"Daniel P.

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. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
