Once the changes are completed, Horizon will be able to support users with various cloud operator defined roles beyond just member and admin.  This will also allow for a dramatic reduction in duplicate code.

Horizon needs to work toward not only supporting as much of the OpenStack service APIs as possible, but making sure we do so in a well thought out and user enabling way. In Juno, I would like to see a focus on implementing more intuitive workflows.

In Icehouse, tuskar-ui (rename to follow) joined the Horizon Program, I am excited by the future inclusion of greater infrastructure and deployment management into the Horizon framework.  We need to help this functionality progress and fill out the Horizon ecosystem.
