History
-------
-Here, at the `Greek Research and Technology Network <http://grnet.gr/default.asp?pid=1&la=2>`_, we have been developing an IaaS
-cloud management software called **synnefo** (or **+nefo**) that is accessed and managed
-via the OpenStack Compute API v1.1. We have also recently deployed synnefo in one of our
-datacenters to provide the `~okeanos <http://okeanos.grnet.gr/>`_ IaaS service to the Greek Research and Academic
-Community (currenty in alpha testing phase).
+Here, at the *Greek Research and Technology Network*, we have been developing an IaaS cloud management software called **synnefo** (or **+nefo**) that is accessed and managed via an extended OpenStack Compute API v1.1. Synnefo has been deployed in many environments to cover multiple needs. For example, the `~okeanos <http://okeanos.grnet.gr>`_ IaaS service, running in our data centers, is used to offer services for the Greek Research and Academic Community.
-From the early start, we needed a simple command-line tool to test the OpenStack API.
-That's why we developed ./kamaki, which proved to be powerful and intuitive enough,
-to be used not only for testing purposes but also as a complete Openstack Compute API v1.1
-client, able to manage our cloud from the command line.

-Once it proved so useful to us, we decided to open the source, so the community can benefit

-Who uses ./kamaki?
+Who uses *kamaki*?
------------------
-./kamaki is currently used internally in GRNET by the development team to test the synnefo
-software, by the deployment team who operates the ~okeanos service and by all the alpha
-testers using the ~okeanos service and want to access the service from the command line.

+What's more, *kamaki* clients API is used in synnefo as an API for accessing remote services as well as for building manager tools of various synnefo functions (e.g. admin image registration).
