This project is a hub for the VMware community to obtain, review, update and create new vReference Cards.
Currently the DCV version 6.0 is early work-in-progress. Once that has matured we can fork this off to start a 6.5 version and other cards. See the README.md and TODO.md file in the root of the data-center-virtualization-6.0 folder for more details of the current work.
If you're not familiar with vReference cards, you can see a previous example here: http://www.vreference.com/vsphere-5-card/
The early cards were created with a variety of tools by Forbes Guthrie and published on his blog site, but the project has been migrated to GitHub to allow for wider colloboration, a quicker update process, and the opportunity to grow into additional product areas.
The card contents are split into sections and created as markdown files which are easy to read, a low bar for contributors, and contain enough detail to create the vReference cards as PDFs.
Here is an easy Github Flavoured Markdown cheetsheet:

and another good one:

The files can be edited in any text editor such as Github's own Atom, or Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. More comprehensive instructions will follow.
Please refer to the CONTRIBUTING.md file for more details on how to contribute.
Visual Studio Code editor with Markdown support
More instructions to follow.
Many text editors can convert the markdown files to html and print as a basic PDF.
The plan is to create custom CSS which will provide formatting for the markdown text and HTML tags. This will produce PDF output similar to the original vReference cards. Laterly, it'll be feasible to create cards with slightly different formatting such as A4, Letter and Full page versions by just making minor modifications to the CSS.
