Hi Chao,

It's good to hear that you're interested in Freezer project and willing to
contribute. Actually documentation is one of the main topics we are
discussing here in the PTG in Denver with the Documentation team. The
installation guide is almost ready but it's not published anywhere!

Hopefully this will be fixed very soon, we will be working hard to get
installation guide and hopefully dev guide for Freezer

To take a look at the latest installation guide for now, you can clone
freezer and run

           $ tox -r -v -e install-guide

This will build the latest installation guide in install-guide/build/html
inside freezer repo and you can check it out using any internet browser


Regarding Swift, the answer is No, Swift is not needed for freezer to work.
However it's the default storage if you're trying to backup your resources
using freezer-agent.

You can use local, ssh, swift (Also supports ceph using RADOSGW)

If you're attending the PTG we will have a room for Freezer from Wednesday
and Thursday if you got any questions.

Best Regards,
Saad!
