This is fantastic!

There is a bunch of badly out dated documentation over at the
fedorahosted.org trac wiki. For example, the FenceAgentAPI doesn't cover
meta-data (https://fedorahosted.org/cluster/wiki/FenceAgentAPI).

I wonder how many people start (or might start) their contributions via
custom RA and FAs? Maybe having similar documents, if not directly in
your new document, would be helpful (your call, I don't know if sections
of FA/RAs would deserve their own guide)?

Anyway, I am very stoked about this! :D
