This is the home of the Apache Cloudstack (incubating) space. Feel free to edit this page. If you see something wrong, edit it. If you have new information, please add it. Or to put it another way: edit boldly. It's a wiki - any changes can be reverted if necessary.
CloudStack Technical Documentation -- Installation Guide, Admin Guide, API Developer's Guide, CloudStack Nicira NVP Guide, and Release Notes.
API Reference -- CloudStack API command syntax and description; a companion to the API Developer's Guide
To get the CloudStack source, use:

We do most of our discussion and work on the Apache CloudStack mailing lists. Specifically, developer discussions happen on the cloudstack-dev mailing list. If you're looking for user support, the cloudstack-users list is the best place to go. (You may be tempted to send mails to both lists looking for help. Avoid that temptation. It's much better etiquette to direct emails to one list only, and to use the appropriate lists.)
Please note that all of the lists are high-volume.
We use the following email subject prefixes in the development mailing list for efficient communication. The table below is work in progress

We maintain several community IRC channels for real-time discussion and support, but please note that if it didn't happen on the mailing list, it didn't happen. Decisions are made on the mailing list (cloudstack-dev). But if you're looking for real-time answers to development or user questions, IRC is a great way to find help. All channels are on Freenode.
