</span>The entry point for documentation is<br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/HowTo" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/HowTo</a>. We will discuss in<br>
Vancouver on the summit how to improve the experience for newcomers to<br>
the documentation.<br>

</span>In a few days there will be a stable/kilo branch. It is possible to<br>
backport changes from the current state of the repository to the stable<br>
branches. We do not have to wait for the regular maintaince release to<br>
publish changes there.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>All true, but specifically the ha-guide is in a separate repo and does not have any stable branches.

<br>
</span>I think it depends. It would be nice to have a working minimal guide for<br>
RabbitMQ inside the OpenStack documentation (as used at the moment in<br>
the installation guides).<br>
<br>
Do you mean this EC2 guide: <a href="http://www.rabbitmq.com/ec2.html" target="_blank">http://www.rabbitmq.com/ec2.html</a> ? I think<br>
such guides should be directly published on <a href="http://rabbitmq.com" target="_blank">rabbitmq.com</a>. I can assist<br>
while writing a guide for OpenStack.<br>
