At its most simple Graffiti is a metadata collaboration tool. We're starting small with the idea that we can demonstrate how having a metadata collaboration tool will allow even "simple" tasks like launching a VM became even simpler for non-technical users.
We believe in the OpenStack building block approach to services and we believe that Graffiti will enable other services to
