There is a need for a liaison from Nova for the docs team to help with 
compute-specific docs in the install guide and various manuals.

For example, we documented placement and cells v2 in the nova devref in 
Ocata but instructions on those aren't in the install guide, so the docs 
team is adding that here [1].

I'm not entirely sure what the docs liaison role consists of, but I 
assume it at least means attending docs meetings, helping to review docs 
patches that are related to nova, helping to alert the docs team of big 
changes coming in a release that will impact the install guide, etc.

 From my point of view, I've historically pushed nova developers to be 
documenting new features within the nova devref since it was "closer to 
home" and could be tied to landing said feature in the nova tree, so 
there was more oversight on the docs actually happening *somewhere* 
rather than a promise to work them in the non-nova manuals, which a lot 
of the time was lip service and didn't actually happen once the feature 
was in. But there is still the need for the install guide as the first 
step to deploying nova so we need to balance both things.

If no one else steps up for the docs liaison role, by default it lands 
on me, so I'd appreciate any help here.
