Thank you for asking, Anne.

Based on my observation, the translation progress will probably
decrease from 100% to 60%~70% , after "API Quick Start" changes into RST.
If translators want to keep up with 100% progress, we have to manually
restore the translations from translation memory, making some small changes.
So from a translator's point of view, I don't like the format change, especially
pure format changing without any special purposes.

I understand the hesitation to change the format for the "one page" but the rest of the docs must change so we can drop DocBook builds. Also, this page is a good starting point for all API concept docs. So I must go forward, even incrementally.

Please review https://review.openstack.org/#/c/217467 when you get a chance.

Thanks,
Anne
 

As to the tool chain support, Andreas has announced the translation of the RST Install
Guides and the draft publish. So I think, it could prove that the tool chain support for RST is OK.

Your opinion, Andreas ?
