I've now extended README.md to at least include the elevator pitch via #8

Other useful docs that are needed:

• Tutorials on using salt-extension to make new
  • exec modules
  • state modules
  • etc.
• How to import/add a salt-extension project into a salt environment/deployment
• How to use nox in a variety of ways (to gen docs from .rst, to gen API docs, to gen changelog, perhaps have a nox command to tag a new release and compile a tar.gz for publishing to pypi, etc.)

Salt Project / VMware has ended active development of this project, this repository will no longer be updated.

The community has created and maintained a better alternative to the development of Salt extensions: salt-extensions/salt-extension-copier (Create and maintain Salt extensions using Copier)
