Open Stack

Can we get a TC policy that 'project' is the standard and that all projects using tenant should plan a smooth migration path to project along with the timescales for implementation and retirement of tenant ?

   In all honesty it doesn't matter which term we go with.  As long as we are
   consistent and define the meaning.  I think we can argue intuitive vs
   non-intuitive in this case unto the ground.  I prefer "project" to tenant,
   but beyond being a bit of an "overloaded" term, I really don't think anyone
   will really notice one way or another as long as everything is using the
   same terminology.  We could call it "grouping-of-openstack-things" if we
   wanted to (though I might have to pull some hair out if we go to that
   terminology).      However, with all that in mind, we have made the choice to move toward
   project (horizon, keystone, OSC, keystoneclient) and have some momentum
   behind that push (plus newer projects already use the project
   nomenclature).   Making a change back to tenant might prove a worse UX than
   moving everything else in line (nova I think is the one real major hurdle
   to get converted over, and deprecation of keystone v2 API). 

FWIW, ceilometer also uses project in our API (although some of our docs use
the terms interchangeably).

And, FWIW, Marconi uses project as well.

Well project seems to be the way everyone is heading long term.  So we'll do this for the Nova
V3 API.  As others have mentioned, I think the most important this is that we all end up using
the same terminology (though with the long life of APIs we're stuck with the both for a few years
at least).
