 Hi Ohad,

the simplest is to actually send a patch against the file docs/apps.html.in
in the source tree. I would think "Ruby Objects for libvirt" should be
added in the "libraries" section, and "Foreman" in the "provisioning"
section. The pages are maintained in the source which also allow to
package them easilly, I hope making an HTML patch isn't too complex,
if not say so I will do it myself :-)

 thanks !

thanks! see attached patch.

 

Daniel
