Hi Robert,

What's your plan for documenting the efforts so that others can do this in
their environments? Is there any documentation currently for which you can
send links?

The Doc team is especially interested in configuration docs and
installation docs as those are the toughest to produce in a timely,
accurate manner now. We have a blueprint for automatically generating docs
from configuration options in the code. We are trying to determine a good
path for install docs for meeting the release deliverable -- much
discussion at
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-docs/2013-July/002114.html.
Your input welcomed.

Thanks,
Anne
