OVS documentation

http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/master/networking/ovs-plugin.html 
has the following sentence:
"CentOS 6.4 and OpenvSwitch 1.10 are recommended." These seem to be very 
old. Are they really the recommended versions?

I mean actually deploying a GRE based network for cloudstack. That way you will know if it works with the latest version of centos and OVS.

Maybe you could try to deploy it on one node, that will help you understand and check the docs.

Sorry if that seemed rhetorical.
I was hoping to find an actual volunteer to work with or to help point 
me to areas that are known to need editing.

I am not sure what you mean by testing.
I am probably going to limit my efforts to editing and will depend on 
others to suggest content and verify the accuracy of changes since I am 
too new to CloudStack and do not have a CloudStack test environment to 
use for testing.

Honestly Ron, the issue is that very few people are actually using the GRE isolation.

One would need to test it with the latest cloudstack 4.5.2 and latest OVS to see if it works with newer versions….

for questions from the user side, usually it’s better to hit the users@ list.
But you can create JIRA issues as well, if it’s an error.

Ideally, once you test it on newer versions, you can also submit a github PR to make the required change in the docs. We will happily merge.

Can someone fix this?

Does anyone know what the correct recommendation should be?

Is anyone interested in the documentation?
I am trying to read it all with an outsider's eye and identify areas 
that I have trouble understanding.
Is it customary to use the Dev list or just create JIRA Issues.
