Hey Thierry,

Here is a list the team compiled on the known gaps in the 1.1
implementation.  I haven't had a chance to file any bugs on these yet, but
wanted to at least answer this email with the list.  I split them roughly
based on complexity.

Most complex:
resource uuids - there is a mixture of integer IDs and UUIDs in responses
from the API right now
versioned content types (Accept: application/xml; version=1.1) as a method
for selecting the version
Asynchronous faults (defined in 3.9.2)
Pagination Links ("next" links, defined in 3.4 - this may not be that
complex)

Relatively simple:
alternate links for images (links directly to glance, discussed in 3.3 and
shown in examples 3.10 and 3.11)
Collections sorted by create time (defined in 3.4)
minDisk and minRam filtering of flavors output (defined in 4.4.1)
minDisk and minRam exposed as attributes of images (defined in 4.5.1,
requires work in glance)
image statuses should match spec (defined in 4.5.1, requires work in
glance)
complex content types (e.g. Accept: application/vnd.openstack.compute+xml)


This seems do-able, but of course help is appreciated.  If you are going
to start on one, I think it makes sense to file a bug and claim it before
starting to work on them.  The minDisk and minRam gaps, asynchronous
faults and resource UUID gaps seem the most critical to me.

Of course there may be other gaps as well - help identifying those is also
very much appreciated.
