OpenStack software documentation
Documentation is community-oriented and available for different audiences on several websites - this wiki is for fast, changing documentation, the developer documentation for the projects is on nova.openstack.org, swift.openstack.org, keystone.openstack.org, and glance.openstack.org. For official documentation, see docs.openstack.org.
