* Due to the takeover of freenode we're moving to a different irc network. * Our channels updated to point at the same channel name on libera.chat * Some links went to webchat.freenode.net. At this time, libera.chat doesn't point you to an official webchat client so I changed these to https://libera.chat. (kiwi irc does work with libera.chat so that could be another option). * In general, I used the name irc.libera.net for link names and https://libera.chat for link targets. This is because the irc service is hosted on irc.libera.chat but the project web server is hosted on libera.chat. (This appears to also be true for freenode but we were using http://irc.freenode.net which doesn't seem to work. Oops). * Removed http://irc.freenode.net from the linkcheck exceptions. linkcheck was actually correct to flag that as invalid (should have been http://frenode.net instead). * Looks like hte important people in #yaml are now in libera.chat * Link to where contributors should get help Add a link target and then link to where contributors should get support for developing groups of modules. * Update docs/docsite/rst/dev_guide/developing_modules_in_groups.rst Co-authored-by: Felix Fontein <felix@fontein.de> Co-authored-by: John R Barker <john@johnrbarker.com> Co-authored-by: Felix Fontein <felix@fontein.de>

Developing collections

**********************

Collections are a distribution format for Ansible content. You can package and distribute playbooks, roles, modules, and plugins using collections. A typical collection addresses a set of related use cases. For example, the ``cisco.ios`` collection automates management of Cisco IOS devices.
|
|
|
|
You can create a collection and publish it to `Ansible Galaxy <https://galaxy.ansible.com>`_ or to a private Automation Hub instance. You can publish certified collections to the Red Hat Automation Hub, part of the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.
