      Where would you like to find starter docs and articles?
      <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/05/starter-docs-and-articles/>

The doc team has been discussing ways to ensure we help people find what
they seek while still getting high-quality content into the “official”
documentation. They shared some ideas and are asking for input from our
wider community as well.

      Proposal for OpenStack Identity API v3
      <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s9C4EMxIZ55kZr62CKEC9ip7He_Q4_g1KRfSk9hY-Sg/edit>

Have your say about a broad CRUD based API supporting authentication and
authorization needs in OpenStack. Back-end implementations of Keystone
may not support all components of the API, hence an API return may be
NotImplemented. This is to support Keystone as a programmatic facade to
an deployment’s existing authentication and authorization system(s).
