    5. these EE docs are a new 'category' in that the how to guide will span more than one Ansible community project (builder, AWX, stand-alone use, etc) (samccann, 15:19:24)
    6. AWX might have similar content to controller on using EEs in job templates - https://docs.ansible.com/automation-controller/latest/html/userguide/execution_environments.html (samccann, 15:21:31)
    7. controller has https://docs.ansible.com/automation-controller/latest/html/userguide/execution_environments.html and AWX has https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/docs/execution_environments.md for EEs in job templates (tho the latter may not be up-to-date) (samccann, 15:22:36)
    8. and in general, most docs are not up todate with Builder 3.0 (samccann, 15:22:50)

    1. Ansible 8 docs up on test at http://docs.testing.ansible.com/ansible/8/index.html Please review and let us know if you see problems. Ignore version switcher as those PRs still need to be backported etc (samccann, 15:38:07)

  7. Adding to the community-writers project board (samccann, 15:47:33)
