There is now a design document for the .NET SDK at https://cwiki.apache.org/CLOUDSTACK/net-sdk-design-document.html
Comments welcome. If it is to go into the CloudStack-Extras repo, could someone advise on the procedure to submit it there please?

We should discuss how to provide language bindings. To date, others outside of Citrix and the Apache CloudStack community have provided Ruby, Python, etc... bindings. I would suggest that we don't want them in the repo, but perhaps in the CloudStack-Extras github location? > The difficulty is that this was developed external from the ASF, so > that code would need to go through IP Clearance. +1 - Donal, I really appreciate your point about wanting to go through the proposal, design, jira, etc... process. The reality is that if the code already exists, then those are steps that become more of a retrofit for informational purposes only. Any code developed outside of the project needs to be grated through a software grant agreement and / or IP clearance. -chip
