Why is the git repository that is located here:
http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-appdev-guide.git;a=summary
which is pointed to by this page here:
http://www.libvirt.org/downloads.html
Only valid up to 13 Aug 2012?
If I pull a copy down from the link on the downloads page:
git clone git://libvirt.org/libvirt-appdev-guide.git
I get what appears to be a current clone.
I'm sure I have missed something somewhere, but shouldn't/couldn't the
downloads page be up-to-date? Even if only to say, "no online browsing"
?

Because no one has submitted patches for it since then. Patches welcome.

At this point, if no one steps up as an appdev guide contributor, it may
be worth tweaking the downloads page to mention that the appdev guide is
currently stale; patches also welcome for that (libvirt.git is the owner
of the source for the downloads.html page).

Ah, dang it. Right you are.
It also helps to make sure you are looking at what you think you're
looking at. :-/ I have _got_ to be more careful...

Yeah, it might helpful to note that... just sayin'.
Thanks again!

AFAIR it was a volunteer effort started by someone whose duties took
them elsewhere, and nobody else has stepped in to take it over.
If you fancy yourself a tech writer, feel free to contribute :-)

Yes, well, while I consider myself at least competent when it comes to
prose, I prefer to know my subject inside and out. And I am nowhere near
that level of proficiency with libvirt.
Thus I must refrain from volunteering for that task. ;-)
