For recap, ¡®labels¡¯ is a property in baymodel and is used by users to input additional key-pair pairs to configure the bay. In the last team meeting, we discussed what is the best way to document ¡®labels¡¯. In general, I heard three options:</font><ul><ul><font color="#1F497D" face="Calibri">1. Place the documentation in Magnum CLI as help text (as Wangqun proposed [1][2]).</font><br><font color="#1F497D" face="Calibri">2. Place the documentation in Magnum server and expose them via the REST API. Then, have the CLI to load help text of individual properties from Magnum server.</font><br><font color="#1F497D" face="Calibri">3. Place the documentation in a documentation server (like developer.openstack.org/¡), and add the doc link to the CLI help text.</font></ul></ul><font color="#1F497D" face="Calibri">For option #1, I think an advantage is that it is close to end-users, thus providing a better user experience. In contrast, Tom Cammann pointed out a disadvantage that the CLI help text might be easier to become out of date. For option #2, it should work but incurs a lot of extra work. For option #3, the disadvantage is the user experience (since user need to click the link to see the documents) but it makes us easier to maintain. I am thinking if it is possible to have a combination of #1 and #3.
