Quantum Admin Docs
Documentation targeting an administrator that is setting up and running Quantum integrated with Nova.
Plan is to keep this documentation plugin-agnostic, with the idea being that plugins will provide their own docs.

Whiteboard
Rough outline:
What is Quantum?
* keep it practical, focus on integration with nova (Link to why Quantum? for more info)
* explain notion of quantum having a "pool" of capacity to use to implement virtual netwoks.
* High-level diagram.
Running Quantum
* selecting a host
* getting the code
* release
* trunk
* selecting the plugin
* plugin-specific config (links to other sections or appendix?)
* Quantum service configuration (if needed)
* running the service
* CLI basics + validation
Running Nova with Quantum Manager
* what versions are required.
* setting appropriate flags
* quantummanager flag
* likely need to set a vifplugging flag.
* link to plugin-specific nova configuration
* OVS vif plugging, integration bridge.
* Specifying the set of NICs that a VM will get.
* "priority" field.
* os-create-X extension.
* creating standard networks with nova-manage, and the nova-manage quantum_list command.
* QM does not support dhcp yet.
* creating networks with directly against quantum + melange, then telling nova about them.
Dashboard and Quantum
* it appears that this doesn't really work with D4… perhaps skip this section for now.
