I think this is a bit of a roadblock for us getting the new Navigator up, so the sooner we can come to a decision the better :) Thanks for raising the issue with the TC!

I like the idea to provide unified API information, however I'm not sure
the Technical Committee should stand in the way of getting that
information updated. The less we force through strict governance
processes, the better, so everything that can be maintained by some
other group should be.

This is closer to documentation than governance, so I wonder if this
document should not be maintained at the API WG or the Docs team or
service catalog level -- just keeping the same team names so that
information can be easily cross-referenced with the governance repository.

I'll raise the discussion in open discussion at the next TC meeting.

See what you think of these. They add an "apis" section to the glance
section of projects.yaml in the governance repo.

http://paste.openstack.org/show/604775/ has a complete history, where
for each release, the complete set of versions of the API that are
available in that release (and their statuses) are listed.

http://paste.openstack.org/show/604776/ has an abbreviated history,
where only the changes in available APIs are listed from version to
version, and if there's no change, the release isn't listed at all.

I don't know if this format would work for microversions, though. (And
I don't know if it's a good idea in the first place.)

Brian,

Thanks for the response. This is a tough one. Currently we're pulling API data manually for each project. That is no longer tenable when we're talking about 40+ projects. Plus, this is info is something that is really sought after by the community. Some thoughts below:

What we really need is the following:

* A project history, including the date of project inception that's included in the TC tags. * An API history in an easily digestible format that all projects share. So whether you're doing micro releases or not, just something that allows us to show, based on a release timeline, which API versions per project are applicable for each OpenStack release. This really needs to be consistent from project to project b/c at the moment everyone handles it differently.
thanks,
brian

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the feedback.

2. The "API Version History" section in the bottom right says:

"Version v2.1 (Ocata) - LATEST RELEASE"

And links to https://releases.openstack.org/<https://releases.openstack.org/>. 
The latest compute microversion in Ocata was actually 2.42:

https://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/api_microversion_history.html<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 micro versions.
Agreed, we could use some guidance here. From what we can tell, each team logs 
these a little bit differently, so there's no easy way for us to pull them. 
Could we output the correct link as a tag for each project, or does anyone have 
a recommendation?

I don't have a helpful recommendation here, but the version history for
Glance is incorrect as well.  We maintain a version history in the
glance api-ref [0], but that's probably not much help (and, as you point
out, is idiosyncratic to Glance anyway).  At this point, though, my
primary concern is that it's showing a deprecated API version as the
latest release.  What format would it be useful for you to get this data in?
