OpenStack Content Sharing

Non-proprietary OpenStack content resides in OpenStack repository. Includes substitution variables for product name, endpoints, and so on. Consumable by OpenStack and non-OpenStack consumers.
Proprietary content resides in non-OpenStack repositories. Consumable by non-OpenStack consumers.
When consumers create content, they include both OpenStack and proprietary source files in their master book files, as needed. Source files can reside in different repositories.
When consumers generate output, they enter values for substitution variables. Ex: productname="Rackspace Cloud Servers"

Proof of concept: Verify possibility of cross-repository communication. Work out how to implement substitution variables.
Determine which substitution variables are required. Product name? Endpoints? Version number?
Update OpenStack source with substitution variables and publish these for public consumption.
Update non-OpenStack book files to include OpenStack source.
