Open Stack

Hey, you've already got a bunch of answers, but FWIW:

a) I think it's fine to do a few big patches deleting stuff you don't
want. You can always bring it back from git history. OTOH if you bring
it back it will be reviewed again :).

b) I think UI + API + pythonclient in parallel is ok, but:
 - please get tempest (which implies devstack too) API tests up as
quickly as possible. Tempest provides the contract definition to
detect regressions in API usage. You can't deploy a production cloud
on top of devstack, but you can use Heat and Keystone and Glance and
Ironic APIs sensibly, which will let meaningful tests of Tuskar API.
I'm not sure where the JS / Horizon tests fit precisely, but again -
lets make sure that we have functional tests in Tempest as quickly as
possible: this is crucial for when we start 'Integration'.

Cheers,
Rob
