The feedback I got at the Summit from individuals and groups trying to deploy multiple server environment (dozens of servers) is lacking with more information and help is requested. I don't think there are a lot of individual developers, without access to large company resources, that are going to stand up/maintain environments of this size and do operational testing. There is a growing number of people/organizations that want this type of information whether it is delivered in a forum, stackexchange, irc or email list. I don't think the medium is as important as just getting it to them in a clear,concise and searchable manner. > > While I may be a nova developer, and a dev on a few other projects, > I'm a user on a much greater number of projects, and have a good idea of what > has worked and not worked for me as a user.
