+## Creating new modules or plugins
+
+Creating new modules and plugins requires a bit more work than other Pull Requests.
+
+1. Please make sure that your new module or plugin is of interest to a larger audience. Very specialized modules or plugins that
+   can only be used by very few people should better be added to more specialized collections.
+
+2. Please do not add more than one plugin/module in one PR, especially if it is the first plugin/module you are contributing.
+   That makes it easier for reviewers, and increases the chance that your PR will get merged. If you plan to contribute a group
+   of plugins/modules (say, more than a module and a corresponding ``_info`` module), please mention that in the first PR. In
+   such cases, you also have to think whether it is better to publish the group of plugins/modules in a new collection.
+
+3. When creating a new module or plugin, please make sure that you follow various guidelines:
+
+   - Follow [development conventions](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_best_practices.html);
+   - Follow [documentation standards](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_modules_documenting.html) and
+     the [Ansible style guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/style_guide/index.html#style-guide);
+   - Make sure your modules and plugins are [GPL-3.0-or-later](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0-standalone.html) licensed
+     (new module_utils can also be [BSD-2-clause](https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause) licensed);
+   - Make sure that new plugins and modules have tests (unit tests, integration tests, or both); it is preferable to have some tests
+     which run in CI.
+
+4. For modules and action plugins, make sure to create your module/plugin in the correct subdirectory, and create a symbolic link
+   from `plugins/modules/` respectively `plugins/action/` to the actual module/plugin code. (Other plugin types should not use
+   subdirectories.)
+
+   - Action plugins need to be accompanied by a module, even if the module file only contains documentation
+     (`DOCUMENTATION`, `EXAMPLES` and `RETURN`). The module must have the same name and directory path in `plugins/modules/`
+     than the action plugin has in `plugins/action/`.
+
+5. Make sure to add a BOTMETA entry for your new module/plugin in `.github/BOTMETA.yml`. Search for other plugins/modules in the
+   same directory to see how entries could look. You should list all authors either as `maintainers` or under `ignore`. People
+   listed as `maintainers` will be pinged for new issues and PRs that modify the module/plugin or its tests.
+
+   When you add a new plugin/module, we expect that you perform maintainer duty for at least some time after contributing it.

+community.general Filter Guide
+==============================
+
+The :ref:`community.general collection <plugins_in_community.general>` offers several useful filter plugins.
+
+.. contents:: Topics
+
+Paths
+-----
+
+The ``path_join`` filter has been added in ansible-base 2.10. If you want to use this filter, but also need to support Ansible 2.9, you can use ``community.general``'s ``path_join`` shim, ``community.general.path_join``. This filter redirects to ``path_join`` for ansible-base 2.10 and ansible-core 2.11 or newer, and re-implements the filter for Ansible 2.9.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    # ansible-base 2.10 or newer:
+    path: {{ ('/etc', path, 'subdir', file) | path_join }}
+
+    # Also works with Ansible 2.9:
+    path: {{ ('/etc', path, 'subdir', file) | community.general.path_join }}
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.0.0
+
+Abstract transformations
+------------------------
+
+Dictionaries
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You can use the ``dict_kv`` filter to create a single-entry dictionary with ``value | community.general.dict_kv(key)``:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Create a single-entry dictionary
+      debug:
+        msg: "{{ myvar | community.general.dict_kv('thatsmyvar') }}"
+      vars:

+Grouping
+^^^^^^^^
+
+If you have a list of dictionaries, the Jinja2 ``groupby`` filter allows to group the list by an attribute. This results in a list of ``(grouper, list)`` namedtuples, where ``list`` contains all dictionaries where the selected attribute equals ``grouper``. If you know that for every ``grouper``, there will be a most one entry in that list, you can use the ``community.general.groupby_as_dict`` filter to convert the original list into a dictionary which maps ``grouper`` to the corresponding dictionary.
+
+One example is ``ansible_facts.mounts``, which is a list of dictionaries where each has one ``device`` element to indicate the device which is mounted. Therefore, ``ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')`` is a dictionary mapping a device to the mount information:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Output mount facts grouped by device name
+      debug:
+        var: ansible_facts.mounts | community.general.groupby_as_dict('device')

+    - name: Output mount facts grouped by mount point
+      debug:

+Working with times
+------------------
+
+The ``to_time_unit`` filter allows to convert times from a human-readable string to a unit. For example, ``'4h 30min 12second' | community.general.to_time_unit('hour')`` gives the number of hours that correspond to 4 hours, 30 minutes and 12 seconds.
+
+There are shorthands to directly convert to various units, like ``to_hours``, ``to_minutes``, ``to_seconds``, and so on. The following table lists all units that can be used:
+
+.. list-table:: Units
+   :widths: 25 25 25 25
+   :header-rows: 1
+
+   * - Unit name
+     - Unit value in seconds
+     - Unit strings for filter
+     - Shorthand filter
+   * - Millisecond
+     - 1/1000 second
+     - ``ms``, ``millisecond``, ``milliseconds``, ``msec``, ``msecs``, ``msecond``, ``mseconds``
+     - ``to_milliseconds``
+   * - Second
+     - 1 second
+     - ``s``, ``sec``, ``secs``, ``second``, ``seconds``
+     - ``to_seconds``
+   * - Minute
+     - 60 seconds
+     - ``m``, ``min``, ``mins``, ``minute``, ``minutes``
+     - ``to_minutes``
+   * - Hour
+     - 60*60 seconds
+     - ``h``, ``hour``, ``hours``
+     - ``to_hours``
+   * - Day
+     - 24*60*60 seconds
+     - ``d``, ``day``, ``days``
+     - ``to_days``
+   * - Week
+     - 7*24*60*60 seconds
+     - ``w``, ``week``, ``weeks``
+     - ``to_weeks``
+   * - Month
+     - 30*24*60*60 seconds
+     - ``mo``, ``month``, ``months``
+     - ``to_months``
+   * - Year
+     - 365*24*60*60 seconds
+     - ``y``, ``year``, ``years``
+     - ``to_years``
+
+Note that months and years are using a simplified representation: a month is 30 days, and a year is 365 days. If you need different definitions of months or years, you can pass them as keyword arguments. For example, if you want a year to be 365.25 days, and a month to be 30.5 days, you can write ``'11months 4' | community.general.to_years(year=365.25, month=30.5)``. These keyword arguments can be specified to ``to_time_unit`` and to all shorthand filters.

+The following filters allow to create identifiers.
+
+Hashids
+^^^^^^^
+
+`Hashids <https://hashids.org/>`_ allow to convert sequences of integers to short unique string identifiers. This filter needs the `hashids Python library <https://pypi.org/project/hashids/>`_ installed on the controller.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja

+
+The hashids filters accept keyword arguments to allow fine-tuning the hashids generated:
+

+:alphabet: String of 16 or more unique characters to produce a hash.
+:min_length: Minimum length of hash produced.
+
+.. versionadded: 3.0.0
+
+Random MACs

+
+You can use the ``random_mac`` filter to complete a partial `MAC address <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address>`_ to a random 6-byte MAC address.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+

+
+Ansible offers the :ref:`community.general.read_csv module <ansible_collections.community.general.read_csv_module>` to read CSV files. Sometimes you need to convert strings to CSV files instead. For this, the ``from_csv`` filter exists.

+
+The ``from_csv`` filter has several keyword arguments to control its behavior:
+
+:dialect: Dialect of the CSV file. Default is ``excel``. Other possible choices are ``excel-tab`` and ``unix``. If one of ``delimiter``, ``skipinitialspace`` or ``strict`` is specified, ``dialect`` is ignored.
+:fieldnames: A set of column names to use. If not provided, the first line of the CSV is assumed to contain the column names.
+:delimiter: Sets the delimiter to use. Default depends on the dialect used.
+:skipinitialspace: Set to ``true`` to ignore space directly after the delimiter. Default depends on the dialect used (usually ``false``).
+:strict: Set to ``true`` to error out on invalid CSV input.

+
+Selecting JSON data: JSON queries
+---------------------------------
+
+To select a single element or a data subset from a complex data structure in JSON format (for example, Ansible facts), use the ``json_query`` filter.  The ``json_query`` filter lets you query a complex JSON structure and iterate over it using a loop structure.
+
+.. note:: You must manually install the **jmespath** dependency on the Ansible controller before using this filter. This filter is built upon **jmespath**, and you can use the same syntax. For examples, see `jmespath examples <http://jmespath.org/examples.html>`_.
+
+Consider this data structure:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    {
+        "domain_definition": {
+            "domain": {
+                "cluster": [
+                    {
+                        "name": "cluster1"
+                    },
+                    {
+                        "name": "cluster2"
+                    }
+                ],
+                "server": [
+                    {
+                        "name": "server11",
+                        "cluster": "cluster1",
+                        "port": "8080"
+                    },
+                    {
+                        "name": "server12",
+                        "cluster": "cluster1",
+                        "port": "8090"
+                    },
+                    {
+                        "name": "server21",
+                        "cluster": "cluster2",
+                        "port": "9080"
+                    },
+                    {
+                        "name": "server22",
+                        "cluster": "cluster2",
+                        "port": "9090"
+                    }
+                ],
+                "library": [
+                    {
+                        "name": "lib1",
+                        "target": "cluster1"
+                    },
+                    {
+                        "name": "lib2",
+                        "target": "cluster2"
+                    }
+                ]
+            }
+        }
+    }
+
+To extract all clusters from this structure, you can use the following query:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all cluster names
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        var: item
+      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.cluster[*].name') }}"
+
+To extract all server names:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all server names
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        var: item
+      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[*].name') }}"
+
+To extract ports from cluster1:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        var: item
+      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query(server_name_cluster1_query) }}"
+      vars:
+        server_name_cluster1_query: "domain.server[?cluster=='cluster1'].port"
+
+.. note:: You can use a variable to make the query more readable.
+
+To print out the ports from cluster1 in a comma separated string:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all ports from cluster1 as a string
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        msg: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[?cluster==`cluster1`].port') | join(', ') }}"
+
+.. note:: In the example above, quoting literals using backticks avoids escaping quotes and maintains readability.
+
+You can use YAML `single quote escaping <https://yaml.org/spec/current.html#id2534365>`_:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        var: item
+      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query('domain.server[?cluster==''cluster1''].port') }}"
+
+.. note:: Escaping single quotes within single quotes in YAML is done by doubling the single quote.
+
+To get a hash map with all ports and names of a cluster:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all server ports and names from cluster1
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        var: item
+      loop: "{{ domain_definition | community.general.json_query(server_name_cluster1_query) }}"
+      vars:
+        server_name_cluster1_query: "domain.server[?cluster=='cluster2'].{name: name, port: port}"
+
+To extract ports from all clusters with name starting with 'server1':
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        msg: "{{ domain_definition | to_json | from_json | community.general.json_query(server_name_query) }}"
+      vars:
+        server_name_query: "domain.server[?starts_with(name,'server1')].port"
+
+To extract ports from all clusters with name containing 'server1':
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Display all ports from cluster1
+      ansible.builtin.debug:
+        msg: "{{ domain_definition | to_json | from_json | community.general.json_query(server_name_query) }}"
+      vars:
+        server_name_query: "domain.server[?contains(name,'server1')].port"
+
+.. note:: while using ``starts_with`` and ``contains``, you have to use `` to_json | from_json `` filter for correct parsing of data structure.
+
+Working with Unicode
+---------------------
+
+`Unicode <https://unicode.org/main.html>`_ makes it possible to produce two strings which may be visually equivalent, but are comprised of distinctly different characters/character sequences. To address this ``Unicode`` defines `normalization forms <https://unicode.org/reports/tr15/>`_ which avoid these distinctions by choosing a unique character sequence for a given visual representation.
+
+You can use the ``community.general.unicode_normalize`` filter to normalize ``Unicode`` strings within your playbooks.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml+jinja
+
+    - name: Compare Unicode representations
+      debug:
+        msg: "{{ with_combining_character | community.general.unicode_normalize == without_combining_character }}"
+      vars:
+        with_combining_character: "{{ 'Mayagu\u0308ez' }}"
+        without_combining_character: Mayagüez
+
+This produces:
+
+.. code-block:: ansible-output
+
+    TASK [Compare Unicode representations] ********************************************************
+    ok: [localhost] => {
+        "msg": true
+    }
+
+The ``community.general.unicode_normalize`` filter accepts a keyword argument to select the ``Unicode`` form used to normalize the input string.
+
+:form: One of ``'NFC'`` (default), ``'NFD'``, ``'NFKC'``, or ``'NFKD'``. See the `Unicode reference <https://unicode.org/reports/tr15/>`_ for more information.

+      - A list where the elements are one-element dictionaries, mapping a name to a string, list, or dictionary.
+        The name is the index that is used in the result object. The value is iterated over as described below.
+      - If the value is a list, it is simply iterated over.
+      - If the value is a dictionary, it is iterated over and returned as if they would be processed by the
+        R(ansible.builtin.dict2items filter,ansible_collections.ansible.builtin.dict2items_filter).
+      - If the value is a string, it is evaluated as Jinja2 expressions which can access the previously chosen
+        elements with C(item.<index_name>). The result must be a list or a dictionary.
