========================
Horizon for Contributors
========================

Horizon is the canonical implementation of `Openstack's Dashboard
<https://github.com/openstack/horizon>`_, which provides a web based user
interface to OpenStack services including Nova, Swift, Keystone, and Quantum.

This document describes horizon for contributors of the project.

Project Structure
=================

This project is a bit different from other Openstack projects in that it has
two very distinct components underneath it:

* django-openstack
* openstack-dashboard

Django-openstack holds the generic libraries and components that can be
used in any Django project. In testing, this component is set up with
buildout (see run_tests.sh), and any dependencies that get added need to
be added to the django-openstack/buildout.cfg file.

Openstack-dashboard is a reference django project that uses django-openstack
and is built with a virtualenv and tested through that environment. If
depdendencies are added that the reference django project needs, they
should be added to openstack-dashboard/tools/pip-requires.
