Guided Review Process
=====================
The API working group would like to increase the tools available to OpenStack
project teams by defining a process and venue for conducting live face-to-face
reviews. At a high level, these reviews are focused on the question "does my
project align with the guidelines?" and are intended to be hosted by the
working group at the PTG meetups.

question "does my project align with the guidelines?" and are intended to be
hosted by the API Special Interest Group at the PTG meetups.
On a more concrete level, the working group expects that reviews which are
directed towards specific areas, or problems within, an API will garner the
best results (e.g. "Is using a PUT request for updating these resources
appropriate?", "We are using GET requests to start server actions, is there a
better alternative?").

What should I expect from my review?

The answer to this will vary depending on the nature of your request to the

question of how close your API follows the working group's guidelines. But,
the depth of your review will depend entirely on how big a request is made of

close your API follows the API-SIG's guidelines. But, the depth of your review
will depend entirely on how big a request is made of the review group.
The preparations that a project team makes before the review process will have
the largest effect on the expected outcome. Teams that are more specific and
focused with their requests to the review group will most likely harvest the
greatest fruits from this process.
When considering approaching the working group for a review, we encourage
projects to identify areas of their APIs that could use clarification or have
been problematic to the team. Project teams that have reviewed the API
guidelines and have questions about specific areas of interest will find that
their reviews will be more productive than open-ended questions which cover
large portions of their API.

Proposing a new guideline
-------------------------
When proposing a new guideline you should start by using the
:doc:`guideline template <template>` to generate the basic
structure. Copy the ``template.rst`` file to the ``guidelines`` directory
with a filename reflecting your new guideline (for example
``guidelines/errors.rst``), and then follow the instructions within the
template. Once complete you should follow the `developer workflow`_ and
the previously stated review process to have your guideline accepted.
