Thijs, Thanks for this updated version. I notice that there are two important requirements missing, from at least the use case I proposed "Manage cloud resources from a centralized dashboard", but maybe from others as well: Taggability: Every resource discoverable by the API must be able to be tagged by the user. This supports the oft-occurring situation where resources, though they are identified by the implementation-specific identifier, are easily identified using terminology defined by the user for his specific context. For example, one might tag resource "/compute/instanceABCDEFG" with the label "database server", and the resource "/storage/disk12345678" with the label "superSecretCorporateData". Searchability: The ability to request lists of resources must allow an optional filter that can specify a category or tag upon which to filter the results. This allows one to further limit their view to, for example, resources tagged "productionEnvironment", or resources of the category "storage". I would rate both of these as a "Medium" priority. I have added these to the Wiki. We've discussed these use cases before - we should make sure they are reflected in the requirements.

Hi,
I just upload a new draft version of the use case and requirements document. I added the latest use case and inserted the requirements tables:

The IMPORTANT part comes now :-) Please review the tables especially with regards to the priorities! I added the priorities I thought might fit - but they need to be refined. During our next concall we are going through all the entries in the table and set the priorities right
All the best,
-Thijs
