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. To log a bug against the documentation, go to http://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals.

There's also an OpenStack documentation mailing list.
