Great, thanks for the emails, and for driving the openstack-common work.

I have created a launchpad issue to track this, and a wiki page linked to
the launchpad issue as a "spec":
-
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/quantum/+spec/identify-openstack-common-code
- http://wiki.openstack.org/QuantumOpenstackCommon

I have assigned myself as the owner, to make sure it gets done, but
everyone should feel free to contribute suggestions to the wiki page.

Dan
