## General notes
Based on the learning path and video Andrei gave us:
* collection name should not be `sample.collection` since we want this in our personal namespaces. It should be `<yourgithubname>.sample`.

## collection_template
Current collection developer docs make no mention of the [collection_template](https://github.com/ansible-collections/collection_template) and focus entirely on `galaxy collection init.` As this is an area under review, we should not update documentation yet until we decide what the preferred path is for creating a new collection.
