Doc folks:

It seems like there's a lot of third-party OpenStack documentation being generated, both in the form of manuals (like below), and random how-to blog posts, and I have a hard time keeping track of it all. Do we have a mechanism for tracking pointers to external docs?

If not, could we set up a blog dedicated to OpenStack documentation? It would basically just contain links to docs as we encounter them. The blog format is nice since it's chronological, so newer stuff is prioritized. Even a twitter feed could be useful. 

We do have the main blog, and Stefano's newsletter, and both of those have doc references, but I was thinking about a feed that was only about docs.

---

Also, I was looking at docs.openstack.org, and thinking it might be a little confusing for newbies. It might be helpful to have language like:

* New to OpenStack and want to get up and running with it as soon as possible? Look at the Starter Guide
* Planning a new production deployment of OpenStack? Look at the Install and Deploy Guide
* Looking for a detailed reference? Look at the Administration Guide.

Or maybe




Take care,

Lorin
