We have tox -e gendriverlist that outputs an RST-ish report of all drivers in the tree. This output can be used in the docs build to automatically publish the list of drivers to make it easier to find officially supported drivers. This effectively removes the existing drivers.html that was generated prior that did not actually contain any useful information. Change-Id: I8de78723af76aabcc976733ac4b248db0b8ca16f

Welcome to Cinder's developer documentation!
Cinder is an OpenStack project to provide "block storage as a service".
- Component based architecture: Quickly add new behaviors
- Highly available: Scale to very serious workloads
- Fault-Tolerant: Isolated processes avoid cascading failures
- Recoverable: Failures should be easy to diagnose, debug, and rectify
- Open Standards: Be a reference implementation for a community-driven api
This documentation is generated by the Sphinx toolkit and lives in the source tree. Additional draft and project documentation on Cinder and other components of OpenStack can be found on the OpenStack wiki. Cloud administrators, refer to docs.openstack.org.
