Broader question: what's the best place to capture this information? Right now, there's a chapter in the OpenStack Compute Admin Guide about images, but I'm tempted to break out a new document dedicated to creating and obtaining appropriate images that are compatible with OpenStack (or, more specifically, with OpenStack-supported hypervisors), and have that be accessible on docs.openstack.org. We could use the wiki, but I'm afraid most users wouldn't find it there, and this is a pretty critical issue for new users.
