Hi everyone,
We’ve been talking for some time about updating the project navigator,
and we have a draft ready to share for community feedback before we
launch and publicize it. One of the big goals coming out of the joint
TC/UC/Board meeting a few weeks ago[1] was to help better communicate
‘what is openstack?’ and this is one step in that direction.
A few goals in mind for the redesign:
- Represent all official, user-facing projects and deployment services
in the navigator
- Better categorize the projects by function in a way that makes sense
to prospective users (this may evolve over time as we work on mapping
the OpenStack landscape)
- Help users understand which projects are mature and stable vs emerging
- Highlight popular project sets and sample configurations based on
different use cases to help users get started
For a bit of context, we’re working to give each OpenStack official
project a stronger platform as we think of OpenStack as a framework of
composable infrastructure services that can be used individually or
together as a powerful system. This includes the project mascots (so we
in effect have logos to promote each component separately), updates to
the project navigator, and bringing back the “project updates” track at
the Summit to give each PTL/core team a chance to provide an update on
their project roadmap (to be recorded and promoted in the project
navigator among other places!).
We want your feedback on the project navigator v2 before it launches.
Please take a look at the current version on the staging site and
provide feedback on this thread.
http://devbranch.openstack.org/software/project-navigator/
Please review the overall concept and the data and description for your
project specifically. The data is primarily pulled from TC tags[2] and
Ops tags[3]. You’ll notice some projects have more information available
than others for various reasons. That’s one reason we decided to
downplay the maturity metric for now and the data on some pages is
hidden. If you think your project is missing data, please check out the
repositories and submit changes or again respond to this thread.
Also know this will continue to evolve and we are open to feedback. As I
mentioned, a team that formed at the joint strategy session a few weeks
ago is tackling how we map OpenStack projects, which may be reflected in
the categories. And I suspect we’ll continue to build out additional
tags and better data sources to be incorporated.
Thanks for your feedback and help.
Best,
Lauren

Overall I like the groupings of the projects in the main page. When I
drill into Nova, a couple of things:
1. The link for the install guide goes to the home page for docs.o.o
rather than https://docs.openstack.org/project-install-guide/ocata/ - is
that intentional?
2. The "API Version History" section in the bottom right says:
"Version v2.1 (Ocata) - LATEST RELEASE"
And links to https://releases.openstack.org/. The latest compute
microversion in Ocata was actually 2.42:
https://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/api_microversion_history.html
I'm wondering how we can better sort that out. I guess "API Version
History" in the navigator is meant more for major versions and wasn't
intended to handle microversions? That seems like something that should
be dealt with at some point as more and more projects are moving to
using microversions.
