It's a nice up side. However, as others have pointed out, it's only capable of displaying the most basic pieces of the architecture. For higher level views with more components, I don't think ASCII art can provide enough bandwidth to help as much as a vector diagram. __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
