Comment, documentation

Question

Good morning,

I hope you are already aware, but the current data lab document is inconsistent with current deployment and  internally inconsistent between various things:

• User manual https://datalab.noirlab.edu/docs/manual/ (which says "1.2.1").
• GitHub README (e.g., not "datalab --help" but "datalab help")
• Internal comments within astro-datalab files in the GitHub repository (e.g., where comments about parameters do not match parameters any more, see async_ vs. async)

I know you are busy and documentation is a pain, but someone would catch up in a few days work and it would make external customers lives better.

Sincerely,

David

Thanks for the heads-up Dave, we'll get that fixed ASAP. (keeping the docs up to date is a perpetual task indeed..)

Just FYI,  the command-line client documentation provided in GitHub as a PDF document is not consistent with the on-line version or actual operation,
