Open Stack

Andreas,

I consider the API documentation and installation guide rather complex for
initial content to move to project repositories and evaluate the results.
However, we're seeing rather strong adoption of moving API documentation
which I think predicts adoption of moving operator/user documentation more
than the installation guide. Regardless of outcome, the API documentation
caters to a smaller audience with at least some knowledge of OpenStack
and/or development experience, thus having less impact on adoption of
OpenStack. On the other hand, the installation guide is extremely popular
and caters to a larger audience with little (if any) prior knowledge of
OpenStack that expects the procedures to work with minimal frustration.
Victimizing this audience hinders adoption of OpenStack and may cast the
wrong impression of moving content into project repositories.
