matter. Switching to a different style guide would require the following:<br>
<br>
1) agreeing on the right style guide,<br>
2) reviewing our current style guidelines in doc-contrib-guide and updating<br>
them as needed so that they comply with the new style guide, and,<br>
3) ideally, begin reviewing all of OpenStack docs for style changes.<br>
<br>
Do we have a volunteer who would be interested in taking on these tasks? If<br>
not, we have to go for a quick fix. Either reference developerWorks, or, if<br>
that's a concern, remove references to external style guides<br>
altogether (and provide less information as a result). I prefer the former.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
