Yes! The sitemap.xml is churning through now ( it takes about a day) and I'll adjust the Google Custom Search Engine right now.

Let's also keep an eye on http://ask.openstack.org and the Disqus comments for feedback and input. I also want to work on search-ability/find-ability with a sitemap.xml, fine-tuned .htaccess, and any other tips and tricks after the release and reorg would be welcomed. We're also exploring redesign ideas for the docs pages. After the Summit and listening to feedback on Havana, let's write up some top priorities for docs for the next release.
