Rudd-O,

An awesome report - looks like there are four or five critical updates to
the instructions, two minor bugs and a big gap in the user docs (e.g., what
next?)

Many folks are still using euca-tools or some ec2 tools to send API requests
to a running nova cloud - you'll need to use the nova-admin binary to set up
user accounts and download credentials to use with those tools. (I was
pretty sure there was a doc on that somewhere...)

Maybe Devin or a racker can pipe up about the status of the new API endpoint
- is it ready enough to use? (If so there, are a bunch of clients already
built for that API, including android and iphone apps, etc.)

If the objectstore is natively running on :3333, then perhaps we don't need
the nginx hack anymore? (Sorry, haven't looked at that code in a while.)
Otherwise, you'll want to change your objectstore flagfile to run on port
3334, and let nginx proxy to it when appropriate.

You should be able to get play-by-play help in the IRC channel, once folks
are awake.

Joshua
