Hi Shravan,<br>
<br>
Having recently set up geo-replication of Gluster v3.5.3 I can tell
you that there is effectively almost no documentation. The
documentation that does exists is primarily focused on describing
the differences between the current and previous versions. That's
completely useless to someone wanting to set it up for the first
time and not a whole lot better for someone who has upgraded. The
first, and perhaps most crucial, piece of information that's missing
is installation requirements. Nowhere have I been able to find out
exactly which components are required on either the master or the
slave. In my case this was determined by pure trial and error. i.e.
Install what I think should be needed and then continue installing
components until it starts to work. Even once that part is done,
there is a LOT of documentation missing. I recall that when I first
set up geo-replication (v3.2 or v3.3?) I was able to follow clear
and simple step by step instructions that almost guaranteed success.<br>
<br>

<div><strong>Hi All, </strong><br>

<div><strong>"The Gluster Filesystem documentation is not user
friendly and fragmented" and this has been the feedback we
have been receiving. </strong><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><strong>We got back to our drawing board and blueprints and
realized that the content was scattered at various places.
These include: </strong><br>

<div><strong>and so on… </strong><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><strong>Hence, we started by curating content from various
sources including gluster.org static HTML documentation,
glusterfs github repository, </strong><br>
<strong>various blog posts and the Community wiki. We also
felt the need to improve the community member's experience
with Gluster documentation. This led us to put some thought
into the user interface. As a result we came up with a page
which links all content into a single landing page: </strong><br>

<div><strong>This is just our first step to improve our
community docs and enhance the community contribution
towards documentation. I would like to thank Humble
Chirammal and Anjana Sriram for the suggestions and
directions during the entire process. I am sure there is lot
