" summary

Apache jclouds runs a one-click docs workflow: every page has a fix this page link that opens the Markdown/HTML source on GitHub, forks if needed, and creates a pull request; Jenkins detects the PR, builds the site with Jackal, and uses jclouds to push the rendered site to Rackspace Cloud Files CDN so reviewer and contributor see the exact same output. The pipeline makes walk-up contributions trivial, speeds a full site redesign, and measurably increases community engagement.
