Hi John, So, here's what I was planning to do. Of course feel free to correct me on this approach.
I think it's OK if Wei merges his code into master and then I can draw from the main repo and merge master into mine locally. 1) Once I get Wei's code and merge, I plan to add a little GUI code to make it user friendly (toggle between these features on the Add Disk Offering window). 2) I plan to write validation logic for the create-disk-offering API command which throws an exception if the rules are not followed (this should never be triggered from the GUI since the GUI will have controls in place to toggle between the one feature and the other). I'm not sure about documentation. I haven't had much experience with it on CloudStack projects yet. Thanks!
