Hi, Thank you. I updated the doc[1] based on the above. Now as I understand it would be better not to change the interface or create a new one, but provide a new implementation shall create a hardware instance so that the minCore and minRam requirements are satisfied (and provides no more).
I am sorry for being ignorant, but how can I start contributing to jclouds. Shall I start on this project directly or can I make contributions in some other way so that I get more familiar with the code base? Please let me know. (I went through some of the issues listed for JClouds and came to realize most of them are labeled GSoC2016 and couldn't find any small ways to contribute. ) Thank you again.
