As discussed at our nova meetings, reorganize the juno specs into three directories: - proposed: things proposed which weren't approved - approved: things we approved but didn't implement - implemented: things approved and implemented The first I suspect is the most controversial. I've done this because I worry about the case where a future developer wants to pick up something dropped by a previous developer, but has trouble finding previous proposed specifications on the topic. Note that the actual proposed specs for Juno are adding in a later commit. Change-Id: Idcf55ca37a83d7098dcb7c2971240c4e8fd23dc8

OpenStack Nova Specifications
This git repository is used to hold approved design specifications for additions to the Nova project. Reviews of the specs are done in gerrit, using a similar workflow to how we review and merge changes to the code itself.
The layout of this repository is:
specs/<release>/Where there are two sub-directories:
specs/<release>/approved: specifications approved but not yet implemented specs/<release>/implemented: implemented specifications
This directory structure allows you to see what we thought about
doing, decided to do, and actually got done. Users interested in
functionality in a given release should only refer to the
implemented directory.
You can find an example spec in specs/template.rst.
Specifications are proposed for a given release by adding them to the
specs/<release> directory and posting it for review.
The implementation status of a blueprint for a given release can be
found by looking at the blueprint in launchpad. Not all approved
blueprints will get fully implemented.
Specifications have to be re-proposed for every release. The review may be quick, but even if something was previously approved, it should be re-reviewed to make sure it still makes sense as written.
Prior to the Juno development cycle, this repository was not used for spec reviews. Reviews prior to Juno were completed entirely through Launchpad blueprints
Please note, Launchpad blueprints are still used for tracking the current status of blueprints. For more information, see https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Blueprints
For more information about working with gerrit, see https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Gerrit_Workflow
To validate that the specification is syntactically correct (i.e. get more confidence in the Jenkins result), please execute the following command:
$ toxAfter running tox, the documentation will be available
for viewing in HTML format in the doc/build/ directory.
