OVS Plugin documentation issues

On the page 
http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/master/networking/ovs-plugin.html
"Configuring the OVS Plugin"
starts with
"Prerequisites"
which opens with this sentence
"Before enabling the OVS plugin the hypervisor needs to be install 
OpenvSwitch."
which needs to be fixed.
Does "Before enabling the OVS plugin, OpenvSwitch must be installed on  
the hypervisor ." express the idea correctly.

"Default, XenServer has already installed OpenvSwitch." might be trying 
to say "Xenserver has OpenvSwitch installed by default."

That was exactly what I needed.

I have cloned the master, tried to make a "dev".
I will make the suggested changes to the "dev" branch.

I am using Eclipse and seem to be having some trouble mapping the README 
to the corresponding Eclipse operations but that is a general 
"git/person in the chair" question rather than a Cloudstack problem and 
Google and I will sort that out.


I will still need some help with sections that are too vague for me to fix.

I hope that some of the experts and developers will respond to my 
specific questions to help make sure that my changes are correct.


Thanks.

Ron

There are several documentation repos depending on which guide you need to fix:

https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-docs
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-docs-install
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-docs-admin

Check the README file to see how to submit a patch.

thanks for your help

On the docs link you sent, at the bottom right, there is a link which says “v:master”. clicking on it will show you a github edit link which is https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-docs/edit/master/rtd/source/networking/ovs-plugin.rst
you can edit online and “propose the change”(which would submit a pull request).

Where are the doc files?

Open a Pull Request for the proposed changes :-)
You can do it directly in the github ui by pressing the 'Edit the file on your fork of this project' if you are unfamiliar with git and its workflows.


If you for some reason don't want to/can't do that, let us know and we'll do our best to pick it up.

Don't mind making the changes.
I have a lot of SVN experience and have the git repo for Apache OFBiz 
configured but am still trying to figure out git.
What do I have to setup in Eclipse to access the "right" bits on git.

Seems to be a ton of git repo entries at 
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cloudstack.git

You can do it directly in the github ui by pressing the 'Edit the file on
your fork of this project' if you are unfamiliar with git and its workflows.
