Open Stack

Agreed on what Lorin said -- thanks Andreas for pointing it out to us.

I do agree with the overlap. One idea for collaboration - bring it into the
openstack-manuals repo and use conditional output for the screenshots for
the SUSE Cloud dashboard, output two different guides, like we do for
install guides. Does that make sense? It might get translated quicker by
being in the OpenStack ecosystem. It's definitely a document we could then
expand upon with tutorials and use cases.

How would you like to share the XML source? Do you think conditional markup
is worth the effort to single-source the guide for different dashboard
screenshots?

I do have to compliment the writer or writers on the organization and
clarity of these guides. Well done.

Anne
