Yes.

I'll state the obvious: because it may offend the KB article author. I 
suspect you'd need to contact the author directly and ask where they'd 
prefer their article to live.

Note: we've still got a "mess" on our hands wrt to collective docs. I am 
hoping to clean up and automate the inclusion of c-docs in plone.org as 
soon as someone from the board replies to this ticket:

* https://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/11771


Right now we have:

* Out of date c-docs on plone.org/documentation (because no one 
understands the upload process[1]). I'm now OK with fixing this (i.e. I 
know how to do it).

* Out of date c-docs on collective-docs.plone.org because your recent 
changes added a Sphinx module that does not exist on deus (includedocs 
IIRC).


As I am not terribly interested in fixing deus[2], I've recently 
considered moving c-docs to github and publishing them to 
readthedocs.org (which moo has +1'd). But I still need to test.

[1] Either that or it's too brittle. I can't remember which. Note: I've 
never actually run bin/toplone on plone.org, but I do understand now how 
it is supposed to work, so I plan to explore some cronomation of this at 
which time I'll try to resolve any issues that may have been occurring.

[2] Yes, I'm that lazy and stubborn. :-) If anyone reading this wants to 
poke at it, and can get "make html" in 
deus:/srv/collective-docs.plone.org working (presumably by installing 
the includedocs module in whichever Python is being used, please do!)

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
