Hi everyone,

This week, like last, was all about the RST conversion. With just a 48
hour long sprint, the Install Guide is almost complete! A hearty
congratulations to everyone who contributed. One of the interesting
things about doing all these conversions is the amount of conversation
it has started about our conventions, and I'm pleased to see that we're
really starting to get a feel for how RST can work for us, and what we
can demand of it. It's also great to see some related changes to the
sphinx theme that handles how we display our shiny RST books.

== Progress towards Liberty ==

== RST Migration ==

The next books we are focusing on for RST conversion are the Install

For books that are now being converted, don't forget that any change you
make to the XML must also be made to the RST version until conversion is
complete. Our lovely team of cores will be keeping an eye out to make
sure loose changes to XML don't pass the gate, but try to help them out
by pointing out both patches in your reviews.

== Docs Tools ==

Thanks to Dave for picking up a bug this week and adding a navigation
bar to the sidepane of the docs theme for our RST books. We should be
releasing an updated docs theme shortly so you can play with this new
functionality. In the meantime, if you have suggestions for the docs
theme, raise the issue on the docs mailing list, or go right ahead and
create a bug for it.

== APAC Docs Swarm ==

The APAC team have been working on holding another doc swarm, this time
working on the Architecture Design Guide. It's to be held at the Red Hat
office in Brisbane, on 13-14 August. Check out
http://openstack-swarm.rhcloud.com/ for all the info.
