<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>IMHO we should have a proper way to reference external vendor specific plugins/drivers mostly because at least in Neutron we are considering to move ALL vendor specific code out-of-tree, again it is just a consideration not a fact.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, having a place holder for that will make sense.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>

Hi,</p>
<p style="margin:0px 0px 14px;padding:0px 5px 5px 0px;border:none;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(75,75,75)">
How to include a new vendor plug-in (aka mechanism_driver in ML2 framework) into the Openstack documentation?.. In other words, is it possible to include a new plug-in in the Openstack documentation page without having the actual plug-in code as part of the
Openstack neutron repository?... The actual plug-in is posted and available for the public to download as Ubuntu package. But i need to mention somewhere in the Openstack documentation that this new plugin is available for the public to use along with its
documentation.</p>

<div>We definitely want you to include pointers to vendor documentation in the OpenStack docs, but I'd prefer make sure they're gate tested before they get listed on
<a href="http://docs.openstack.org">docs.openstack.org</a>. Drivers change enough release-to-release that it's difficult to keep up maintenance.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Lately I've been talking to driver contributors (hypervisor, storage, networking) about the out-of-tree changes possible. I'd like to encourage even out-of-tree drivers to get listed, but to store their main documents outside of
<a href="http://docs.openstack.org">docs.openstack.org</a>, if they are gate-tested.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyone have other ideas here?</div>
