<h3><a href="http://markmail.org/message/5pg7nssyho5cz4ev">A
plea from an OpenStack user</a></h3>
<p>Ryan Lane tells the story of his upgrade from Diablo to
Essex and gives very constructive contributions to the
developers and documentation writers for the pain points
he had to face. The thread generated from his comments is
a tribute to civil discussions.</p>
<h3><a href="http://markmail.org/message/uans5wujuktourya">A
call for document writers: it’s that time of the
release!</a></h3>
<p>Now that we’re in feature freeze period, it’s a great
time to look at what docs are needed for Folsom. You can
help with documentation in several ways. Anne Gentle gave
some ideas.</p>
<h3><a href="http://www.zmanda.com/blogs/?p=916">Cyberduck
with support for Keystone-based OpenStack Swift</a></h3>
