Changed confusing wording. People new to ansible, like myself, have a hard time grocking what is a playbook and what is a task. I changed the name of the playbook to make it clearer.
* Due to the takeover of freenode we're moving to a different irc network.
* Our channels updated to point at the same channel name on libera.chat
* Some links went to webchat.freenode.net. At this time, libera.chat
doesn't point you to an official webchat client so I changed these to
https://libera.chat. (kiwi irc does work with libera.chat so that
could be another option).
* In general, I used the name irc.libera.net for link names and
https://libera.chat for link targets. This is because the irc service
is hosted on irc.libera.chat but the project web server is hosted on
libera.chat. (This appears to also be true for freenode but we were
using http://irc.freenode.net which doesn't seem to work. Oops).
* Removed http://irc.freenode.net from the linkcheck exceptions.
linkcheck was actually correct to flag that as invalid (should have
been http://frenode.net instead).
* Looks like hte important people in #yaml are now in libera.chat
* Link to where contributors should get help
Add a link target and then link to where contributors should get support
for developing groups of modules.
* Update docs/docsite/rst/dev_guide/developing_modules_in_groups.rst

Change:
- Make strategies behave consistently and return the empty string
instead of "UNKNOWN" (or "temporarystub") for the "before" value if
the permanent hostname file does not exist or could not be read.
- Switch to `with open()` instead of annoying exception handling code
(which was wrong and leaked file handles in several places). This
drops Python 2.4 support for this module.
- Updated porting guide since users could be relying on these former,
inconsistent values.

place of msgcat (merging the various index pot files into a single pot file).

* excludes scenario guides from core docs, splits porting guides and roadmaps, symlinks indices to create index.html pages, and adds .gitignore entries for conf.py and the toplevel index.rst files generated by the docs build
This solution builds three types of docs:
* ansible-2.10 and earlier: all the docs. Handle this via `make webdocs
ANSIBLE_VERSION=2.10`
* ansible-3 and later: a subset of the docs for the ansible package.
Handle this via `make webdocs ANSIBLE_VERSION=3` (change the
ANSIBLE_VERSION to match the version being built for.
* ansible-core: a subset of the docs for the ansible-core package.
Handle this via `make coredocs`.
* `make webdocs` now always builds all the collection docs
* Use `make coredocs` to limit it to core plugins only
* The user specifies the desired version. If no ANSIBLE_VERSION is specified, build plugins for the latest release of ansible

The standard Port for ansible winrm is set to 5986/HTTPS.
To be able to use Kerberos, you need to set ansible_port: 5985/HTTP otherwiese you get error message or timeout.
HTTPS is not needed for environments with Kerberos, since kerberos has server identification built in to the protocoll.
FYI: HTTP traffic will by default also be encrypted when using kerberos
