This patch improves Zaqar documentation and fixes currently existing bugs. Bugs this patch currently addresses and solutions: Short names for documentation locations used in this commit message: GitRepo - https://github.com/openstack/zaqar/ Contributor Docs - http://docs.openstack.org/developer/zaqar/ Wiki - https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Zaqar/ 1. DRY violation and spreaded information for contributors bug. The information for Zaqar contributors is spreaded/duplicated across GitRepo, Contributor Docs and Wiki. Examples of DRY violation are these three articles: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Zaqar/Give_Zaqar_a_try, https://github.com/openstack/zaqar/blob/master/README.rst, http://docs.openstack.org/developer/zaqar/development-environment.html Example of spreaded information is: "zaqar/tests/functional/README.rst" Normally the contributor want to see the information from this file in "doc/source/running_tests.rst". Solution: move useful missing information for contributors from Wiki and GitRepo to Contributor Docs, then replace all contributor information in Wiki and GitRepo with links to Contributor Docs. 2. Outdated information, missing new information and broken links bug. Example is "test_suite.rst": a. It still states that Zaqar test suite lives in two directories - "tests" and "zaqar/tests", but now it's not true. b. Doesn't contain information about how test invocation is organized, what really happens when "tox -e py27" command executes. Solution: replace outdated information with new, fix broken links if possible, add useful missing information. 3. Style and formatting bugs. The reference is http://docs.openstack.org/contributor-guide/. Many documents in Contributor Docs have wrong line wrapping - some lines are wrapped too short and some are wrapped too long. Lines must wrap at 79 characters, exceptions are code and links. Example is "first_review.rst" which lines are not wrapped at all. Enumerated lists must be written using "#. " syntax. Example with wrong enumerated list is "development.environment.rst". Some inline elements must be styled according to: http://docs.openstack.org/contributor-guide/rst-conv/inline-markups.html Example with wrong styling of inline elements is "development.environment.rst" where many paths and file names are not marked with `` (double backticks). By default code inserts are implicitly styled with python syntax. There are many places in Contributor Docs where console (bash) code is wrongly styled with python syntax. Also there are some failed attempts to apply a formatting in Contributor Docs. For example there is a broken list in "first_review.rst" at line 52. Solution: fix broken formatting, apply proper style where it is needed. Some of these bugs fixes closes few bug reports from: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/zaqar-mitaka-docs Change-Id: Id668684248bdee03eb43b537dc2c6bb2a68ed23d

Zaqar
Zaqar is a multi-tenant cloud messaging and notification service for web and mobile developers. It combines the ideas pioneered by Amazon's SQS product with additional semantics to support event broadcasting.
The service features a fully RESTful API, which developers can use to send messages between various components of their SaaS and mobile applications, by using a variety of communication patterns. Underlying this API is an efficient messaging engine designed with scalability and security in mind.
Other OpenStack components can integrate with Zaqar to surface events to end users and to communicate with guest agents that run in the "over-cloud" layer. Cloud operators can leverage Zaqar to provide equivalents of SQS and SNS to their customers.
General information is available in wiki:
The API v1.1 (stable) specification and documentation are available at:
