And keep that up-to-date please. FYI over in the xapi-project weâve been experimenting with putting design docs in a central github repo and having github render them nicely e.g. http://xapi-project.github.io/design-docs/index.html We stick a header on top like --- title: thin LVHD storage layout: default design_doc: true revision: 1 status: proposed â and have a design doc index template https://github.com/xapi-project/xapi-project.github.io/blob/master/_layouts/design_docs_list.html So far itâs working quite well for us.
