Project Specfications
=====================
Specifications in this repository represent a consensus on the topics covered
within. They should be considered a mandate on the path forward with regards
to the content on which they are drafted.
Purpose
-------
A specification should precede any broad-reaching technical changes or proposals
to OpenStack-Helm. Examples of changes requiring a specification include: a
standard format to the values.yaml files, multiple backend support for neutron,
and the approach for logging and monitoring in OpenStack-Helm. Some additional
features will not need an accompanying specification, but may be tied back to an
existing specification. An example of this would be introducing a service in
OpenStack-Helm that could be included under the scope of a specification already
drafted and approved.
Process
-------
Before drafting a specification, a blueprint should be filed in Launchpad_ along
with any dependencies the blueprint requires. Once the blueprint has been
registered, submit the specification as a patch set to the specs/ directory
using the supplied template.
More information about the blueprint + specification lifecycle can be found
here_.
