Whiteboard

2010-12-20: I have a bunch of the basic pieces working, but need to deal with 2 main things: having serial console co-exist with console log on kvm, and adding support for openstack api.

2010-12-23: Work for this is functionally complete, and I'm awaiting final suggestions before proposing for merge.

2010-12-29: added unit test, did some pep8 cleaning, added ajax-proxy screenit to nova.sh for developer testing

(?)
