Hi Duncan

Thanks for bringing this up! Sorry for the delay in responding - 1.8.1  
has been eating up some time of late ;-)

One related topic that has recently been discussed on the dev list [1]  
is the overall size and maintenance effort related to the larger APIs.  
It would be a very useful learning experience for all, I think, if we  
could apply some of the thinking from that here by looking to create a  
minimal "walking API skeleton" first and seeing how far users can run  
with that.

That should hopefully not only lower the bar to entry quite a lot in  
terms of making initial reviews etc. much quicker. It would also allow  
us to hopefully get user feedback quickly on which functionality they  
are missing, so we can focus our effort on what users are actually  
asking for.

@Duncan, Rajesh, jclouds users: Does this approach sound like  
something that you think could work?

Regards
