+Files
+=====
+
+Puppet comes with both a client and server for copying files around. The file
+serving function is provided as part of the central Puppet daemon,
+puppetmasterd, and the client function is used through the source attribute of
+file objects. Learn more at
+http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/File_Serving_Configuration
+
+You can use managed files like this:
+
+    class myclass {
+      package { mypackage: ensure => latest }
+      service { myservice: ensure => running }
+      file { "/etc/myfile":
+        source => "puppet://$servername/modules/mymodule/myfile"
+      }
+    }
+
+The files are searched for in:
+
+    $modulepath/mymodule/files/myfile

+Facter
+======
+
+Define facts in this directory.
+
+Sometimes you need to be able to write conditional expressions based
+on site-specific data that just isn’t available via Facter. The
+solution may be to add a fact to Facter. These additional facts can
+then be distributed to Puppet clients and are available for use in
+manifests. Learn more at
+http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Adding_Facts
+
+File paths should match the fact name; for example, a fact
+`hardware_platform`, defined like this:
+
+    Facter.add("hardware_platform") do
+        setcode do
+            %x{/bin/uname -i}.chomp
+        end
+    end
+
+Should be found in `hardware_platform.rb` in this directory.

+Templates
+=========
+
+Puppet supports templates and templating via ERB, which is part of the Ruby
+standard library and is used for many other projects including Ruby on Rails.
+Templates allow you to manage the content of template files, for example
+configuration files that cannot yet be managed as a Puppet type. Learn more at
+http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Puppet_Templating
+
+You can use templates like this: 
+
+    class myclass {
+      package { mypackage: ensure => latest }
+      service { myservice: ensure => running }
+      file { "/etc/myfile":
