  Four clicks, but not super obvious, and it takes you to a completely different website. But still, that's not too bad by the standards of enterprise software companies. At least the openstack and devstack websites don't have addresses like "www8.hp.com" (www8, wtf?): http://www8.hp.com/us/en/cloud/helion-overview.html http://www8.hp.com/us/en/cloud/helion-overview.html

  Which four clicks? For me, I went to openstack.org, and followed the "Getting Started" link under the "Documentation" heading on the front page. From the getting started page, there are two main (on the top) headings: "Public Cloud" and "Local Dev Environment". Clicking the button under the local option goes to the devstack.org quickstart page (which is also their main landing page). That seems really optimal to me, but I'm not a UI guy, so maybe somebody could come up with a better flow. I'd love to see it! That's not the same as getting the whole thing running of course, but getting to a simple-looking set of instructions is pretty quick.

  As someone who spent 18 months of his life deploying Openstack at scale, I'm confident in pointing out that devstack is, like most of Openstack, half-broken.

    Would love to hear more about this. Do you have any blogs or details on your experience?
