gns3 3.0 documentation

[eantowne]

This is something that I have been tossing around in my head for some time now. A significant portion of the 2.x documentation is still relevant for 3.x. There are 2 major portions that are a point of divergence:

• Installation
• Administration - Specifically RBAC and it's implications, as well as controller/compute management

Additionally, some portions of the more tutorial based sections will need 3.x specific versions such as importing appliances.

There are a few improvements that I think may be viable for the overall structure as well logical flow from subject-to-subject as well as additional topics that could be covered.

I think it would be good to provide a couple of different versions of an outline for Jeremy to consider.

Thoughts?

Jeremy used the term "hidden" in his interview with Bombal on one of the major.minor gns3 versions, i think 2.2.
I use the term "deprecated". VPCS is a perfect of example of what should be hidden in a new tab on the gns3.com documentation webpage that should be labeled Deprecated. I would leave all that stuff there and not even try to fix it.

Yeah...Installation and "Administration" - maybe features and Administration falls under Features.
My Button idea looks to be dead on.
I will look tomorrow.
There should be some type of Python class or module thing that is named
Project
I am hoping that I am correct and the class/module will have at least these methods
SaveAs
Export
Import
Open
New

and I do not know what those Edit and Delete things are - I never used them.

Then I can just regex the entire source code with powershell and grab all the missing Documentation and put it in a spreadsheet.

However, there is no telling what type of github/visual studio code tools the gns3 developers have at their disposal; they probably already have something like that.
