Re: [PATCH 0/6] Additional documentation for nova-core

Thanks a lot for doing this, this was severely missing from the
WPR2 patchset.

Due to the strong focus on documentation, and in order to ease merging,
I think it makes sense to keep this separate from the WPR2 patchset and
merge it on top of it. Danilo, would that work for you?
