The "what is libvirt-cim" page at http://libvirt.org/CIM/ contains numerous
unexpanded acronyms. Usuaully, a "what is" web page is likely to be used by
people with less subject matter expertise than other web pages on a topic, so it is
especially important to expand acronyms in such web pages. In this case, the current text
is quite terse, so there is plenty of space to expand the acronyms.
So, if there are no complaints from the libvirt-cim mailing list (which I have cc'ed)
in the next day or so, I suggest you change the text of http://libvirt.org/CIM/ to
something like this:
What is libvirt-cim?
Libvirt-CIM is a CIM (Common Information Model) provider for managing
linux virtualization platforms using libvirt. It is written in C and
should work in any CIMOM (CIM Object Manager) that supports CMPI
(Common Management Programming Inferface) 2.0 providers. The intent is
to implement the SVPC (Systems Virtualization Partitioning and
Clustering) class model currently available in the DMTF (Distributed
Managment Task Force) Experimental 2.16 schema.
This email may inspire suggestions of other improvements for the future. If that happens,
please bear in mind that those suggestions probably will not block your making this text
update in the meantime.
Thanks for your attention to this.

@ Adam,
Hey Thanks.
@ Kaitlin,
I was not able to change the information in the wiki .
I think we also need to change the DMTF revision information from 2.16
to 2.21. The platform support info is also not up to date.
This email may inspire suggestions of other improvements for the future. If that
happens, please bear in mind that those suggestions probably will not block your making
this text update in the meantime.
Thanks for your attention to this.

Hi Deepti,
The page Adam is referring to is not part of the wiki. It's one of the
web pages that are hosted on libvirt.org. The modification mechanism
for these pages is different from the wiki that's hosted on libvirt.org.
I think we also need to change the DMTF revision information from
2.16
to 2.21. The platform support info is also not up to date.
Agreed. Also, we haven't updated the release information. The
information there is quite out of date.

Thanks for catching this. I agree - the explanation on the site assumes
some familiarity with CIM concepts.

All of the documentation on the libvirt-cim portion of the website is
quite out of date. I'll see if I can get an update done in the next few
days here.
Thanks again for pointing this out!
