h2. Clean foswiki.
It still contains outdated content like http://www.rudder-project.org/foswiki/Download/WebHome which is the second Google result for "Download Rudder".
h2. Create an index of resources for Rudder
Create a page to show an overview of all available resources for each major version of Rudder.
It should give direct access to:
* Docs: specific chapters in the manual, rudder API doc
* Release information: release notes, maintenance levels (ESR, etc.)
* Docs for other tools: ncf, rudder-api-client, plugins (Rundeck, Ansible)
Could be the first page of the manual.
h2. Add a getting started section
At the very beginning of the manual. It should follow a simple scenario from the beginning to the end (like a web platform installation), to help discover Rudder workflow.
** Installation of a demo platform ("getting started" on normation.com)
** Basic node management, quick explanation of the concepts
** Create directives (built-in+technique editor, with file copy, templating), rules, quick explanation of the concepts.
** Basic agent commands
** etc.
** This chapter should include a lot of screenshots and tips.
We should probably initially target this section to 3.1.
h2. Split the "Introduction" chapter
* -Move things to the Reference chapter (dependency graph, list of Rudder packages)-
* Replace texts by schema and diagrams
* -Move to "Requirements" part into the Installation chapter-

* troubleshooting workflow (rudder server debug, relevant logfiles, etc.)
h2. Add a section about testing Rudder techniques
* rudder-tests : usage
* create tests for your policies
