D3 Documentation

This is the place for Casper Admins who want to use d3 to enhance package management with their Casper installation.

The Ruby module documentation for both d3, and ruby-jss are available for developers who wish to contribute, or just use the modules for their own projects.

For a general overview, and some basic d3-vocabulary, please read the Welcome Page

Feedback is encouraged! d3 was developed in a closed environment to meet our very specific needs. While it won't be for everyone, we hope others will contribute to making it better and more widely used.
