Open Stack

Hello Akihiro,

Looks so amazing! Thanks a lot for your lots of progress on translated 
edge computing white paper publication
with RST-based method, which is much preferred from I18n team, Docs 
team, and all upstream projects.

In my honest opinion, using *one* unified tool in all OpenStack area 
including official projects and publication
would be best, but more discussion and agreement on multiple different 
teams (+ Foundation) would be needed I think.
When I attended to a Forum on ops-guide during Summit last week, I found 
that ops-guide would want to convert from Wiki-based format to RST-based 
format.
It would be pretty nice if we all use RST-based documents to many 
places, but more things (e.g., current implementation,
maintenance, ...) need to be considered I think.

Now I would like to ask more opinions on:

- @amotoki: How long does it take to convert original text file + texts 
on a PDF file to RST-based formats?
                         Did you do it manually and would it be also 
rather easy for other members such as me or Foundation staff?

- @Foundation: Is it okay for translated white papers to publish with 
RST-based tools as Akihiro did, since RST-based tools
                              are much easier to publish translated 
documents and sync translated resources (po files)?

- @Foundation: OpenStack documents use CC BY 3.0. Would it be fine for 
translated white papers to use similar CC
                             rather than CC BY-ND 4.0, for original edge 
computing white paper document or cause intellectual issues?

- All (including translators): For design stuff, just making use of 
openstackdocstheme would be pretty fine?
         For example, I forked from Akihiro's github repo, and published 
using openstackdocstheme
         to https://ianychoi.github.io/edge-computing-whitepaper/
         (e.g., https://ianychoi.github.io/edge-computing-whitepaper/ja/ ).


With many thanks,

/Ian
