      OpenStack docs and tooling in 20 minutes
      <http://www.rhonabwy.com/wp/2013/04/19/openstack-docs-and-tooling-in-20-minutes/>

Howto get started with all the tooling and setup needed to build, 
review, and contribute to OpenStack Documentation. By Joe Heck 
<http://www.rhonabwy.com/wp>.


        How It’s Made: the OpenStack API Reference Page
        <http://justwriteclick.com/2013/04/14/how-its-made-the-openstack-api-reference-page/>

The site at http://api.openstack.org <http://api.openstack.org/> is a 
collection of HTML pages, and one page has an especially interesting 
story about how it is built. Anne Gentle <http://justwriteclick.com/> 
reveals the secret.


      Storage != Transfer
      <https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/2013/04/24/storage-transfer/>

John Bresnahan argues that concepts of data transfer and data storage 
should not be conflated into a single solution.  He believes that 
OpenStack can benefit from a new component that offloads the burden of 
optimally transferring images from existing components like nova-compute 
and swift.
