What is our focus for the next six months?

New deployers

  • automated ops tools

New contributors

  • better docs about code organization and design

New client apps

  • improve python-swiftclient
  • improve other client bindings

New end users

  • new features like server-side object splitting

Leaves out "baseline" like improving what we already have

Any outstanding concerns or questions
