What's the progress been to date? What team of folks has been working on
it?

I see:

  http://refstack.org/
  https://etherpad.openstack.org/RefStackBlueprint
  https://github.com/openstack-ops/refstack

This should be similar to how we evaluate project proposals - I'd expect
to see a decent amount of initial progress and a fairly well solidified
team before accepting a new program.

Cheers,
Mark.
