Hi all,

Just to let you know, the updated [Profiles, Variations and Interoperability](http://docs.openreferral.org/en/latest/hsds/variations_interoperability.html#) page has now been merged into the [main docs](https://docs.openreferral.org/en/latest/index.html).

This links to the [Example Profile Repository](https://github.com/openreferral/hsds_example_profile) which we have updated further since our request for review and feedback.

The [README.md](https://github.com/openreferral/hsds_example_profile/blob/main/README.md) now includes a [Preparing Documentation](https://github.com/openreferral/hsds_example_profile/blob/main/README.md#preparing-documentation) section where guidance on use of the profile documentation tools we’ve provided can be found.

We would still welcome feedback and will, of course, be looking iterate on this documentation as we gain further insights based on their use.

Thanks @mrshll for the great work!

Dan
