Open Stack

After the mailing list discussion around APIs a few weeks back, several community members asked the Project Policy Board to come up with a position on APIs. The conclusion of the PPB was that each project's PTL will own the definition and implementation of the project's official API, and APIs across all OpenStack projects should follow a set of guidelines that the PPB will approve. This will allow the APIs to be tied to the functionality in the project while ensuring a level of consistency and familiarity across all projects for API consumers.

We've started an Etherpad to collect input and comments on suggested guidelines. It's a little messy but proposed guidelines are set off with an asterisk (*):

Feel free to add comments on the Etherpad, the list or give me feedback directly.

Jonathan.
