Jay S. Bryant 1423480fb6 Make doc/source directory compliant with design in spec
The following spec defines what each project's doc/source
directory is supposed to look like:

https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/docs-specs/specs/pike/os-manuals-migration.html

I had not yet moved existing content to follow this design.
This patch does that, moving the devref to the
'contributor' directory.  It also moves the CLI
related documentation into the 'cli' directory.  I have
updated the autodoc generation to now create the api
documentation in 'doc/source/contributor/api'.

This patch also creates a template for future documentation
contribution.  I have created all of the directories
recommended by the spec and have included documentation
as to what should go in each directory.

The index file is updated to point at the new locations for
existing content.

'doc/.gitignore' is updated so that it won't complain about the
automatically generated 'doc/contributor/api' directory.

Welcome to Cinder's developer documentation!

Cinder is an OpenStack project to provide "block storage as a service".

  • Component based architecture: Quickly add new behaviors
  • Highly available: Scale to very serious workloads
  • Fault-Tolerant: Isolated processes avoid cascading failures
  • Recoverable: Failures should be easy to diagnose, debug, and rectify
  • Open Standards: Be a reference implementation for a community-driven api

This documentation is generated by the Sphinx toolkit and lives in the source tree. Additional draft and project documentation on Cinder and other components of OpenStack can be found on the OpenStack wiki. Cloud administrators, refer to docs.openstack.org.
