Thanks for sending this, Masumotok! I was planning to reach out to you to see what you had so far. I'll work with you to get the wiki page into RST and/or DocBook and will send you a separate email for the details.

Thanks,
Anne

For admins:
 http://wiki.openstack.org/LiveMigrationUsage

For Devs:
 Overall design document exists at :
 <http://wiki.openstack.org/LiveMigration?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=20110203cactus-migration-live.pdf>

 Regarding to RST docs, I'm reading other rst docs to decide what to write.
 Please hold on..

Sorry, I mean RST docs for concepts introduced by a feature patch.

For instance, when live-migrations goes in, I want to see some RST
documentation that explains the concepts involved to developers,
including how live migrations differs from, say, snapshotting.

For user and admin documentation, Anne can ready the concept RST docs
in the developer documentation and work with the authors to produce
user and admin-focused docbook manuals.

my 2 cents and all that,
