Monty Taylor e4decf693a Fixed two minor docs niggles.
The doc todo list didn't actually work, so remove it. Also, the
documentation is not written by Anso Labs quite so much anymore.

Welcome to Nova's developer documentation!
==========================================
Nova is the project name for OpenStack Compute, a cloud computing fabric
controller, the main part of an IaaS system.
Individuals and organizations can use Nova to host and manage their own cloud
computing systems. Nova originated as a project out of NASA Ames Research Laboratory.
Nova is written with the following design guidelines in mind:
* **Component based architecture**: Quickly add new behaviors
* **Highly available**: Scale to very serious workloads
* **Fault-Tolerant**: Isolated processes avoid cascading failures
* **Recoverable**: Failures should be easy to diagnose, debug, and rectify
* **Open Standards**: Be a reference implementation for a community-driven api
* **API Compatibility**: Nova strives to provide API-compatible with popular systems like Amazon EC2
This documentation is generated by the Sphinx toolkit and lives in the source
tree. Additional draft and project documentation on Nova and other components of OpenStack can
be found on the `OpenStack wiki`_. Cloud administrators, refer to `docs.openstack.org`_.
