Whenever learning a new language I like to find the language reference. Having read a lot of the docs (http://docs.ansible.com) and having done some searches, I still haven't found a concise language reference that lists all of the keywords, their inputs & outputs, and what they do. Anything I have found so far is wrapped up in a playbook which is not what I want.

Does such a thing exist? If so, where?

 Not a complete list and it requires descriptions, but this is a start for such a thing:

No 'best', but several 'good', here, open an issue or pull request in github or the IRC channels on freenode.

Is there an open issue on github for expanding on this?

I hope there is a way to provide feedback on the documentation.

As a newbie to Ansible and being under a lot of pressure to produce results quickly, these types of language references are important. I keep reading how easy it is to work with Ansible. So far, not so much.
