Hi Duncan 

Thanks for your feedback. I think the Donabe info is a little scattered.
Also the scope has changed over the last 6 months. The latest tech
update is at
http://www.slideshare.net/ddutta1/donabe-models-openstack-essex-summit

I will update the pages and get back in a few days, definitely before
next Wed, when we meet. 

Regards
debo

Ah, I just found this, via another deck on slideshare:
  http://etherpad.openstack.org/Donabe

That contains the most information I've see yet about Donabe. Note that
it would be a *really* good idea, from the perspective of evangelism, to
distill those notes into an easily communicable vision.
