[chef] Re: Publishing cookbooks guidelines.

["Eric G. Wolfe" < >]

metadata.json should be generated by your API client, i.e. knife, when 
you upload to the community site or a chef-server.  You can manually 
generate the metadata.json with `knife cookbook metadata`.

You can add metadata.json to your .gitignore, since it is just a JSON 
representation of your metadata.rb.

Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade
themselves that they have a better idea.
