After the mailing list discussion around APIs a few weeks back, several 
community members asked the Project Policy Board to come up with a position on 
APIs. The conclusion of the PPB was that each project's PTL will own the 
definition and implementation of the project's official API, and APIs across 
all OpenStack projects should follow a set of guidelines that the PPB will 
approve. This will allow the APIs to be tied to the functionality in the 
project while ensuring a level of consistency and familiarity across all 
projects for API consumers.

We've started an Etherpad to collect input and comments on suggested 
guidelines. It's a little messy but proposed guidelines are set off with an 
asterisk (*):

Feel free to add comments on the Etherpad, the list or give me feedback 
directly.

Jonathan.
