From 0f00914578740f4b4ca5216544d512e297610961 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2017 15:07:41 -0700 Subject: documentation: Reorganized YP introduction material. This material was being replicated across the Quick Start, dev-manual, and ref-manual. I have created a single point in the ref-manual that collects the disparate information that existed. I deleted the entire section in the dev-manual since that book is converting to a procedure manual and the very front of the manual adequately mentions YP and provides pointers to where the user can get more information. The QS provides a more complete introduction of YP since it is a QS.
