Welcome to the SIMP QA Board!

If you don't know what SIMP is, or need additional information, please head over to the project landing page.

This space should be used to create a knowledge base for the SIMP community in general.

NOTE: This space is intended to be an online forum and does not allow posting via E-mail.

We would ask that general Puppet questions be directed to the Puppet Questions page.

Also, please remain courteous to your Internet neighbors. We reserve the right to prevent posting and/or delete content from anyone that is not following our Community Code of Conduct.
