There's a number of high level architecture diagrams on the website giving an overview of what's going on, but since they're aimed at people getting to know the project they're not very detailed. I felt I wanted some additional more technically detailed/ focused diagrams to illustrate what we're doing to developers actually writing code for the project. And so by the power of XFig http://ovirt.org/page/ArchDiagrams I'm attaching a tar.gz with the original XFig sources, so if people have improvements to make they can fix them up directly. Perhaps we should put them in source control somewhere ?

This won't be included in docs rpm for now, but our docs people might use that eventually for other Guides.

I will get the diagrams converted into SVG for some vector graphics glory too. Diagrams like this are very useful for troubleshooting and explaining the workings of the program to users as well as developers. Thanks once again, this fills one of my requests exactly (whether you were aware of it or not). Chris
