Open Stack

Welcome Summer! It's great to have you.

So, up until 30 seconds ago when I checked the wiki, I thought I had a
good idea of our restructure, which is laid out as:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Blueprint-restructure-documentation

On of the points of the restructure was to do away with the current
administration guide (eg
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin), because
operators found it "exhaustive to the point of being past useless"[1].

The aim that I remember was to create a Configuration Reference, which
would have much shorter introductions to each of the features in
OpenStack, followed by a table of their configuration options
automatically generated from code.

This was to be accompanied by a User guide, one for end-users of the
cloud, and one for Administrators of the cloud (wich much shared content).

However, I now see that "Administration Guide" has been added to the
wiki, which has caused me great confusion :)


Regards,


Tom
