Open Stack

Hi Lana,

Thanks for the summary, it's pretty good reading to catch up what happened recently.

I have one question, I might missed a few entries, so please point me to the right document in this case. We had a docco session with the Telemetry team and we agreed on moving back the documentation snippets, like for instance the Install Guide, to the project trees is a really good step and we're very supportive. In this sense I would like to ask about the plans regarding the Admin guide. We have a chapter there, which is on one hand outdated and on the other hand would be better to move under the project trees as well. Is this plan/desire in line with your plans regarding that document?

Thanks,
/Ildikó

> One of the first tasks we've started work on after Summit is moving the Ops and HA Guides out of their own repositories and into
> openstack-manuals. As a result, those repositories are now frozen, and any work you want to do on those books should be in
> openstack-manuals.

> We are almost ready to publish the new RST version of the Ops Guide, there's just a few cleanup edits going in now, so make sure you
> have the right book, in the right repo from now on. This was our very last book remaining in DocBook XML, so the docs toolchain will
> be removing DocBook XML support. See spec https://review.openstack.org/311698 for details.

> Another migration note is that the API reference content is moving from api-site to project specific repositories and api-site is now
