<br><font size=3>Is there any documentation on plugin development?<br>
Just looked around contrib directory in the nova github repository as you
mentioned, and there is almost nothing there, or at least nothing that
will help me to understand how plugin should be developed.<br>

<br><font size=3>No, OpenStack API plugins are just python modules loaded
in special middleware by nova-api. For example, you can look in nova/api/openstack/contrib/
directory.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>You must write unit tests for your code. Also, you can
not be merged in trunk, if your code does not pass tests.</font>

<br><font size=3>Hi!</font>
<br><font size=3>I'm new to OpenStack and I wanted to develop a plugin,
like Atlas load balancing. Hopefully this is the right mailing list.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>I couldn't find information on plugin development, so
I assume plugins are actually individual applications that integrate with
openstack through APIs. Is that right?</font>
<br><font size=3>That means I can develop the plugin in whatever language
I feel confortable with and that's all? Do I need to have in mind any specific
consideration?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>Regard testing... how do you guys deal with testing? Do
I have to install openstack on my dev machine in order to run my plugin
tests?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>Thanks,</font>
