Sumit Naiksatam 5c0f28bd88 Adding dir structure for developer reference docs 
This patch is in response to prior discussion in the
weekly IRC team meeting.

The patch does not actually add any documentation (apart
from the bits on testing and dev env setup). It does propose
topics in the index.rst for documents that need to added for
the existing components. These will be added by the team as
follow-up patches.

For any patch that adds a new feature or modifies an existing
feature it will be required to submit a devref rst document
as a part of that patch. This document should be posted in the
doc/source/devref/ location. There isn's a specific format for
the document, but it is expected that the document adequately
explains the design of the feature that is being implemented
such that its easy for the rest of the team to review, maintain,
and enhance the implementation.

README.rst

Group Based Policy (GBP) provides declarative abstractions for achieving scalable intent-based infrastructure automation.

GBP complements the OpenStack networking model with the notion of policies that can be applied between groups of network endpoints. As users look beyond basic connectivity, richer network services with diverse implementations and network properties are naturally expressed as policies. Examples include service chaining, QoS, path properties, access control, etc.

GBP allows application administrators to express their networking requirements using a Group and a Policy Rules-Set abstraction. The specifics of policy rendering are left to the underlying pluggable policy driver.

GBP model also supports a redirect operation that makes it easy to abstract and consume complex network service chains and graphs.

Checkout the GBP wiki page for more detailed information: <http://wiki.openstack.org/GroupBasedPolicy>

The latest code is available at: <http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/group-based-policy>.

GBP project management (blueprints, bugs) is done via Launchpad: <http://launchpad.net/group-based-policy>
