Improving the Proxmox VE Documentation
--------------------------------------

Depending on which issue you want to improve, you can use a variety of
communication mediums to reach the developers.

If you notice an error in the current documentation, use the
http://bugzilla.proxmox.com[Proxmox bug tracker] and propose an
alternate text/wording.

If you want to propose new content, it depends on what you want to
document:

* if the content is specific to your setup, a wiki article is the best
option. For instance if you want to document specific options for guest
systems, like which combination of Qemu drivers work best with a less popular
OS, this is a perfect fit for a wiki article.

* if you think the content is generic enough to be of interest for all users,
then you should try to get it into the reference documentation. The reference
documentation is written in the easy to use 'asciidoc' document format.
Editing the official documentation requires to clone the git repository at
`git://git.proxmox.com/git/pve-docs.git` and then follow the
https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-docs.git;a=blob_plain;f=README.adoc;hb=HEAD[README.adoc] document.

Improving the documentation is just as easy as editing a Wikipedia
article and is an interesting foray in the development of a large
opensource project.

NOTE: If you are interested in working on the {pve} codebase, the
{webwiki-url}Developer_Documentation[Developer Documentation] wiki
article will show you where to start.
