When learning about how a project works one of the first things I look for
is a brief architecture description along with a diagram. For most
OpenStack projects, all I can find is a bunch of random third party slides
and diagrams.

Most Individual OpenStack projects have either no architecture diagram or
ascii art. Searching for 'OpenStack X architecture' where X is any of the
OpenStack projects turns up pretty sad results. For example heat [0] an
Keystone [1] have no diagram. Nova on the other hand does have a diagram,
but its ascii art [2]. I don't think ascii art makes for great user facing
documentation (for any kind of user).

So how can we do better then ascii art architecture diagrams?
