Hi neutrinos (and horizoners),

As the title says, where would we like to have horizon dashboard for
neutron stadium projects?
There are several projects under neutron stadium and they are trying
to add dashboard support.

I would like to raise this topic again. No dashboard support lands since then.
Also Horizon team would like to move in-tree neutron stadium dashboard
(VPNaaS and FWaaS v1 dashboard) to outside of horizon repo.

Possible approaches
----------------------------

Several possible options in my mind:
(a) dashboard repository per project
(b) dashboard code in individual project
(c) a single dashboard repository for all neutron stadium projects

Which one sounds better?

Pros and Cons
--------------------

(a) dashboard repository per project
  example, networking-sfc-dashboard repository for networking-sfc
  Pros
   - Can use existing horizon related project convention and knowledge
     (directory structure, testing, translation support)
   - Not related to the neutron stadium inclusion. Each project can
provide its dashboard
     support regardless of neutron stadium inclusion.
 Cons
   - An additional repository is needed.

(b) dashboard code in individual project
  example, dashboard module for networking-sfc
  Pros:
   - No additional repository
   - Not related to the neutron stadium inclusion. Each project can
provide its dashboard
     support regardless of neutron stadium inclusion.
 Cons:
   - Requires extra efforts to support neutron and horizon codes in a
single repository
     for testing and translation supports. Each project needs to
explore the way.

(c) a single dashboard repository for all neutron stadium projects
   (something like neutron-advanced-dashboard)
  Pros:
    - No additional repository per project
      Each project do not need a basic setup for dashboard and
possible makes things simple.
  Cons:
    - Inclusion criteria depending on the neutron stadium inclusion/exclusion
      (Similar discussion happens as for neutronclient OSC plugin)
      Project before neutron stadium inclusion may need another implementation.


My vote is (a) or (c) (to avoid mixing neutron and dashboard codes in a repo).

Note that as dashboard supports for feature in the main neutron repository
are implemented in the horizon repository as we discussed several months ago.
As an example, trunk support is being development in the horizon repo.

Thanks,
