+
+## Description
+
+Start with a one- or two-sentence summary of what the module does and/or what
+problem it solves. This is your 30-second elevator pitch for your module.
+Consider including OS/Puppet version it works with.
+
+You can give more descriptive information in a second paragraph. This paragraph
+should answer the questions: "What does this module *do*?" and "Why would I use
+it?" If your module has a range of functionality (installation, configuration,
+management, etc.), this is the time to mention it.
+
+## Setup
+
+### What gunicorn affects **OPTIONAL**
+
+If it's obvious what your module touches, you can skip this section. For
+example, folks can probably figure out that your mysql_instance module affects
+their MySQL instances.
+
+If there's more that they should know about, though, this is the place to mention:
+
+* A list of files, packages, services, or operations that the module will alter,
+  impact, or execute.
+* Dependencies that your module automatically installs.
+* Warnings or other important notices.
+
+### Setup Requirements **OPTIONAL**
+
+If your module requires anything extra before setting up (pluginsync enabled,
+etc.), mention it here.
+
+If your most recent release breaks compatibility or requires particular steps
+for upgrading, you might want to include an additional "Upgrading" section
+here.
+
+### Beginning with gunicorn
+
+The very basic steps needed for a user to get the module up and running. This
+can include setup steps, if necessary, or it can be an example of the most
+basic use of the module.
+
+## Usage
+
+This section is where you describe how to customize, configure, and do the
+fancy stuff with your module here. It's especially helpful if you include usage
+examples and code samples for doing things with your module.
+
+## Reference
+
+Here, include a complete list of your module's classes, types, providers,
+facts, along with the parameters for each. Users refer to this section (thus
+the name "Reference") to find specific details; most users don't read it per
+se.
+
+## Limitations
+
+This is where you list OS compatibility, version compatibility, etc. If there
+are Known Issues, you might want to include them under their own heading here.
+
+## Development
+
+Since your module is awesome, other users will want to play with it. Let them
+know what the ground rules for contributing are.
+
+## Release Notes/Contributors/Etc. **Optional**
+
+If you aren't using changelog, put your release notes here (though you should
+consider using changelog). You can also add any additional sections you feel
+are necessary or important to include here. Please use the `## ` header.

+# The baseline for module testing used by Puppet Labs is that each manifest
+# should have a corresponding test manifest that declares that class or defined
+# type.
+#
+# Tests are then run by using puppet apply --noop (to check for compilation
+# errors and view a log of events) or by fully applying the test in a virtual
+# environment (to compare the resulting system state to the desired state).

+# Class: gunicorn
+# ===========================
+#
+# Full description of class gunicorn here.
+#
+# Parameters
+# ----------
+#
+# Document parameters here.
+#
+# * `sample parameter`
+# Explanation of what this parameter affects and what it defaults to.
+# e.g. "Specify one or more upstream ntp servers as an array."
+#
+# Variables
+# ----------
+#
+# Here you should define a list of variables that this module would require.
+#
+# * `sample variable`
+#  Explanation of how this variable affects the function of this class and if
+#  it has a default. e.g. "The parameter enc_ntp_servers must be set by the
+#  External Node Classifier as a comma separated list of hostnames." (Note,
+#  global variables should be avoided in favor of class parameters as
+#  of Puppet 2.6.)
+#
+# Examples
+# --------
+#
+# @example
+#    class { 'gunicorn':
+#      servers => [ 'pool.ntp.org', 'ntp.local.company.com' ],
+#    }
+#
+# Authors
+# -------
+#
+# Author Name <author@domain.com>
