<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><span style="color:black">You will find the rationale behind the need for Raksha in OpenStack in its Wiki. The wiki also has the preliminary design and the API description. Some of the Raksha functionality
may overlap with Nova and Cinder projects and as a community lets work together to coordinate the features among these projects. We would like to seek out early feedback so we can address as many issues as we can in the first code drop. We are hoping to enlist
the OpenStack community help in making Raksha a part of OpenStack.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
