Summary
The OpenStack library was designed a few years ago. Since then, the library has grown without a specific organization. Also, we have learned how users interact with it.
This blueprint describes a plan to restructure the OpenStack documentation to reduce redundancy and increase usability, clarity, and consistency.
Design

Goals
The restructure aims to create the following main documents:
- | OpenStack Installation Guide | OpenStack Operations Guide | OpenStack Reference | OpenStack API Reference | OpenStack User Guide | Developing OpenStack |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Audience | Deployers | Deployers | Administrators | Developers | Users | Developers |
Purpose | Provide step-by-step instructions that allow result in an deployed OpenStack Cluster | Provide opinionated direction on the design and operations of OpenStack clusters | The definitive list of options able to be used with OpenStack | The definitive list of API methods and parameters, with examples for each. | Provide Application Developers all they need to understand about OpenStack to work with it. | Provide the information needed to work on the code of OpenStack |
