server guide merge proposal

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
I just wondered how well this is going so far?  Has Ahmed been accepted as the 
new official person for the server-guide?  Just curious, sorry if it seems rude 
i was really just wondering.
Regards from
Tom :)

Thanks for your reply Matthew. Adam Sommer has stepped down from         
maintaining the server docs (

Hi Ahmed,

I reviewed your merge request and requested a quick validation       fix.  Once 
this is ready, I or another committer can complete the       merge.

Cheers,
-Connor

Thanks a lot! I just pushed the fix. I am now also more confident to     
progress to further chapter.
Thanks
