I'm on vacation this week but saw this and will reply now but not the rest
of the week.

This sounds like a personal issue with Matt -- that's not the case is it?
We've got an install guide upstream team starting. Ideally you'll join in
the larger install guide effort.

I'd like to see involvement in the planning for this release's work of the
install guide. There's a spec at https://review.openstack.org/#/c/160603/,
yes it happens to be written by Matt, but I expect the changes this release
to be very lightweight, and in that plan, certainly the link can be
restored.

If you look at my comments in the review you'll see I'm looking for
justification for Debian to be included and seeking input from Debian
contributors (not just calling on you, realize) on plans for the upcoming
release of the install guide.

If you are willing to get involved there we'd welcome the input.
Argumentative or personal issues won't be tolerated though.

We want the upstream guides to have similar goals and if you personally are
not on board with the discussed goals (such as, no deprecation warnings,
agreed-upon upstream architectures) you have to find another place to
publish. Your emails make me think you see it as "your guide" and while all
voices are welcome, it is a community guide and requires community
maintenance.

Again, I'm on vacation this week so I'll circle back in another week on
both the spec and any progress from the team.

Thanks,
Anne
