Hi, I've been working on this blueprint here https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/apis-for-nova-manage which has the aim of moving as much as possible out of nova manage and provide APIs instead for the functionality. I and some others have already started submitting patches for this, but I would appreciate any comments/feedback on the blueprint. Note that when I did the initial analysis of what needed to be done I based it on the documentation at http://api.openstack.org which I've since discovered is a bit of out date. So there may be some functionality listed as needed to be done which already exists. Regards, Chris -- cyeoh at au.ibm.com
