The 1st sentence "OpenStack is an IaaS cloud computing project by Rackspace Cloud and NASA" is wrong in at least a couple of ways:

a) It's not *by* Rackspace Cloud and NASA. It was founded by those two parties yes, though I think most of the press coverage only mentions Rackspace, oops.

The claim that OpenStack can be used with minimal porting effort (from AWS) is not substantiated by the reference to the OpenStack documentation. It is unclear whether OpenStack provides a completely compatible set of APIs or just a mostly compatible one, and whether it's compatible but incomplete or is a complete implementation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.123.3.246 (talk) 14:07, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I gave a first shot at fixing the starting statement, as indeed the project has gone a long way since its initial release. I've added also references to the AWS/S3 API compatibility.
