Hi Giles, As a CloudStack user, I spent lots of time in the code to figure out how different parts work and find the root cause of bugs that I face. I also tried to install CloudStack as a project in eclipse and run it directly from eclipse from some old documents. I have learned some courses in Java to enable myself to contribute to the CloudStack codebase. But each time I look at the code and its sub-projects, my mind is blown up! I thought maybe it is because I don't have any practical java development experience yet but a clear document about the code itself could make everything easier to understand. I appreciate your valuable work. It is something that I have looked for many times! Regards,
