> Work continues on improving Ansible documentation for retrievability and general organization.
> In this update we're pleased to announce several changes to the User Guide:
> 
> * [Basic concepts](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/getting_started/basic_concepts.html) has moved to the _Getting started with Ansible_ section.
> * All the content for Microsoft Windows users has been separated from the _User Guide_ to a dedicated [Using Ansible on Windows](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/win_guide/index.html) guide.
> * [Ansible tips and tricks](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/tips_tricks/index.html) is also separated from the _User Guide_.
> 
> We hope these changes help you navigate the Ansible documentation more easily and find the content you're looking for.
> More changes to the _User Guide_ are in plan and next up we're aiming to consolidate some of the Playbook content in the User Guide.
> You can find out more about this effort, and join in the conversation, in [GitHub issue 78082](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/78082).

> ### Matrix Room Shields for repo READMEs?
> 
> I've opened an [example PR](https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/pull/114) for displaying a Shields.io shield for a Matrix room inside the README of a repository. This is the same kind of thing as you often see for test coverage, code coverage, Python versions, etc.

> I think this is an useful extra way for maintainers to direct users to the right place to get help, and has the nice side-effect of demonstrating the large vibrant community we have. I'm looking to get feedback on whether this should go in the template repo, so that people know it's an option - what are your thoughts?
