Assuming this format is accepted, do you all have any sense of when this
data will be complete for all projects?

> navigator. If the data is not maintained anywhere else (or easily
> derivable from existing data), we would use that repository to collect

> Hey all,
>
> As per our discussion in today's TC meeting, I have made a document
> format for reporting versions to the project navigator. I stuck it in
> the releases repo:

>
> Because there was already per-release information there, and the
> governance repo did not have that structure.

> I've included pseudo-code and a human explanation of how to get from a
> service's version discovery document to the data in this document, but
> also how it can be maintained- which is likely to be easier by hand
> than by automation - but who knows, maybe we decide we want to make a
> devstack job for each service that runs on tag events that submits a
> patch to the releases repo. That sounds like WAY more work than once a
> cycle someone adding a few lines of json to a repo - but *shrug*.
>
> Basing it on the version discovery docs show a few things:
>
> * "As a user, I want to consume an OpenStack Service's Discovery
> Document" is a thing people might want to do and want to do
> consistently across services.
>
> * We're not that far off from being able to do that today.
>
> * Still, like we are in many places, we're randomly different in a few
> minor ways that do not actually matter but make life harder for our
> users.
>
> Thoughts and feedback more than welcome!
