What an amazing piece of history! I'd never heard that before, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing that Anne. I like the inclusion of some metrics and review data in there. For community projects, access to metrics like that at scale really help other projects manage the expectations of the teams/community. I'd love to see this data in a universal benchmark of some kind.
I also love your comments on the "docs like code" trend. From my bias running a team building publishing tools, I don't see this as the end of CMS but a much overdue correction to our expectations of how our publishing tools fit our needs.
Trending towards tech writers that are up to speed on git is great, and for a product like OpenStack it's actually amazing to watch it move at scale as a developer experience vehicle. That alignment in the pipeline gives such scope for optimisation and cultural commonalities. For those products and teams with a pure customer focus, the ability to integrate documentation into the content marketing workflow is new ground to break at a higher level of attention to UX. Which again has awesome alignment, but with the other verticals that other projects need to prioritise. Either way, we're spoiled.
Request: Please write more about the CI at Rackspace. I read a lot of companies talking about CI, but it's a doing sport after all.
