[Yanel-dev] [Announcement] Target environment implementation finished [WAS Re: Resource configuration parameters: Differentiating between Development, Testing, Staging and Production

[basZero]

Hi Michael,
sounds great.

Regarding documentation: it would save some time if you would link source
code pointers with github.
e.g. you could make a hyperlink to
https://github.com/wyona/yanel/blob/master/src/realms/yanel-website/res-configs-repo/data/en/contact.html.yanel-rc

Cheers
Balz
