Thanks, John. I know lots of open source projects do this, let's do it.
Monty and gang, I added to the doc automation blueprint on openstack-ci at
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-ci/+spec/ci-doc-automation.

Important note: I don't want devs to think this is how they throw stuff
over the wall to a "team of doc writers" since we don't have dedicated doc
resources for configuration docs (that I know of, unless there's a secret
wiki, ha!). There's a small group, we're organized and need a list for the
backlog, but need all the people who know about config to help.

Thanks, so glad I can bounce ideas here.
Anne
