+Title of your blueprint
+=======================
+
+Liberty release documentation updates
+
+
+Problem Description
+===================
+
+The documentation needs to be easy for new users and contributors while
+following similar OpenStack docs structure and conventions.
+
+
+Proposed Change
+===============
+
+Organize the documentation around four sections: What Is Akanda, Installing
+Akanda, Operating Akanda, and Akanda Developer Guide.
+
+This change will make the Akanda documentation [1] read similar to the existing
+OpenStack documentation [2]. This will also prepare the Akanda documentation
+for merging with the OpenStack documentation.
+
+What Is Akanda section will hold the existing High Level Architecture,
+Service VM Orchestration and Management, The Service VM sections. These pages
+VM will be renamed to Instance. We will
+add user documentation for demonstrating akanda, understanding how it
+orchestrates network services, and how to compare (or not to) akanda to other
+SDN options. Add some details around EW and NS frame/packet flow between
+compute nodes. Make IPv6 support very clear and called out. Explain the driver
+concept and how it will make support of new Neutron Advanced services easier.
+Additionally provide understanding of how Akanda integrates with Neutron. Say
+all this without duplicating any of the existing OpenStack documentation.
+
+Installing Akanda section will hold the existing Akanda Developer Quickstart.
+Adding installing from tarballs, source, and eventually distribution. Known good
+configurations will also be part of this section.
+
+Operating Akanda will hold the existing Operation and Deployment and
+Configuration Options. We will add the training material here. We will need to
+add details on dynamic routing support, how the configuration drift support
+works and is managed. Links to supporting ML2 drivers like linuxbridge and OVS.
+Making it clear how Akanda supports common Neutron configurations and
+configuration changes. Add details on supporting VXLAN overlay and Lightweight
+Network Virtualization (LNV) (Hierarchical Port Binding) with Akanda.
+
+Akanda Developer Guide will hold the details on setting up the developer
+environment, testing code locally, explaining the CI tests, along with some
+references to Neutron dependencies. This entire section will move to the
+Akanda developer reference section here [3], once the Akanda project is
+accepted into the OpenStack org repo.
+
+This spec also includes the use of docstrings in the code. We will start with
+updating the rug code with docstrings as the most critical.

+Developer Impact
+----------------
+
+Updating the documentation structure will make it easier for new contributors
+to join the Akanda project. As Akanda joins the OpenStack org repo structure,
+it will make setting up the devref material very easy.
+
+
+Community Impact
+----------------
+
+The OpenStack community will better understand what the Akanda project is
+about and why it is important with clear documentation.
+
+
+Alternatives
+------------
+
+* Leave documentation as is
+* Wait until the Akanda project is moved into the OpenStack org repo before
+updating the documentation structure.

+Work Items
+----------
+
+* Create a patch to restructure the Akanda documentation
+* Add new content from slides and other sources
+* After Akanda gets moved into OpenStack org repos, move the Akanda developer
+reference to doc.openstack.org/developer/akanda/devref/
