My suggestion would be to focus on the documents that we can make

So nice to have you in our time zone Tom. :)

I think the actual design layout will help us realize that "releases" will
look different for Havana. We won't have that redesign for a few weeks, so
we're talking abstractedly but have concrete views already cemented.

I'm asserting that the only guides that we can ever guarantee to be
synchronized with released code are install and config (automated). All
others are released continuously. Yes it means inaccuracies may exist but
bugs exist in the code too. We can certainly leave out entire sections or
chapters if they're just too buggy.

I don't think that there will be a Havana Compute Administration Guide on
October 17th, there will be a "continuously published from master" Compute
Administration Guide.

The ownership is what concerns me -- Neutron "owns" their Networking Admin
Guide, so does Cinder. Nova and Swift, not so much ownership. So are you
proposing removal of Compute Admin Guide and Object Storage Admin Guide
until owners step up? I can certainly consider that here.

I think we agree -- its just that the full Havana library is just two
books. The rest of the books are on the shelf with a published date on
them. I hope the redesign will help users understand this.
