Needs a new review

[dagwieers]

During the next Windows WG meeting on 2019-01-29 we will review and decide on the inclusion of this module in Ansible v2.8. Your presence in the meeting could be helpful.

If there's anything you wanted to improve/fix, please do so before the meeting.

After some discussion at the Windows Working Group module review, we're a little nervous to take on more IIS modules into the core distribution right now, especially given the state of the other IIS modules we already have. This would be a good candidate for the new collections feature that's coming in Ansible 2.8, which would allow these modules to be hosted on galaxy.ansible.com and easily installed/upated by users on their Ansible controller.

Thanks, guys, for review and feedback.
I thought about it and I agree with you. Besides that, unfortunately, I don't have much time to fully support module.

@arestarh - can you close the PR if it is no longer required?

@nitzmahone @jborean93
Guys, as Mat already mentioned with recently released ansible version 2.8 new feature called Collections has arrived.

I have several questions and maybe you can give me some suggestions what to do.

1. In general, what should I do with module and with PR in particular ?
2. I've tried to look for documentation regarding Collections on https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/, but didn't find such. Could you please give me correct link ?

Thanks.

Hi Andrew, it's not yet well-documented but you may take a look at the example (incomplete) dir structure https://github.com/bcoca/collection (plugins/modules is a place putting modules in such dir layout) and https://github.com/ansible/mazer.
Alternatively, wait for the docs and subsequent improvements.

[jborean93]

Collections are now more of a first class citizen with Ansible and we have better documentation around it. You can follow the user guide which goes into detail on how to install and use collection inside Ansible itself.

The dev guide goes through the process of how to create your own collection as well as publish it to Ansible Galaxy.
