Overview
========

This repository was created as a private staring point for the vpp documentation
project. It is expected that it will be used as a sandbox that can be used to
evaluate and comment on the new fd.io document structure.

Build and Load Instructions
===========================
I build and load the documents using a mac, but these instuctions should be portable
to any platform. I used the Python virtual environment.

For more information on how to use the Python virtual enviroment check out
