I see this blueprint for metering, but none for Dough currently.

Here are the Dough slides, however:
http://www.slideshare.net/lzyeval/dough-openstack-billing-project

We collectively need to talk more about the user scenarios, because I don't think you can just put a decorator around the API rpc calls and get an accurate picture of what to bill for later.  There are metered things like bandwidth or IOPS, events that happen outside of the API (shutdown -h), and it is hard to predict what a reseller will want to charge for.  It is better to put a metering system in that can handle many billing configurations.
