Suggestion: Getting Started Guide...

[projx]

Hey Guys

I'm in the process of looking for a stack-deployer that works with Troposphere, but I'm unable to understand how it works. The documentation appears to be purely reference.

It'd be much easier and quicker to adopt this, if there was a getting started tutorial which covers both Stacker and Troposphere.

Hey @projx when I first joined the community I had the luxury of sitting with two of the main contributors and I had no problem saying, "I don't understand".

In an attempt to capture what I was learning as a novice, I created this project:

https://github.com/cloudtools/stacker_cookiecutter

It acts both as a "scaffold" for creating a stacker project and as a tutorial for showing how all the parts connect together. Let me know if you have any ideas on how to make this project (and documentation) better for new people.
