                  So summarize and clarify, we are talking about SDK

            <div>Gilles, i'm very curious about how we can help as well.<br>
              <br>
            </div>
            <div>i am keenly interested in the api-schema work that is
              happening and i am coming up to speed with the work that
              Graham has done, and which previously existed, on
              os-api-ref. although i don't have a *ton* of spare free
              time, i would like to help as much as i can.<br>

    Hi Michael, <br>
    <br>
    Thank you very much for jumping in. Your interest shows the demand
    for such feature, which is what we need the most at the moment. The
    more people the better the momentum and likelihood of getting more
    help. Let's blow the horn!<br>
    <br>
    As you probably already know, the real work is Graham's PR [1] where
    the magic is going to happen and where you can help.<br>
    Graham who has been involved and working with the Sphinx library
    offered to 'dump' the API schema which is already in memory, what I
    call the de-facto API Schema, which is needed to generate the API
    Reference guides. So instead of asking developers of each project to
    change their habits and write an API schema up front, it seemed
    easier to just use the current work flow in place with the
    documentation (API Ref) and generate the API schema which can be
    stored in every project Git.<br>
