I see the Design Summits, but have not yet found design recommendations or a process that new code goes through to ensure decent design rules of thumb.

I suspect that perhaps the openstack-dev list -
http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev -
might be a more profitable place to ask these questions, since that's
the venue where the blueprints and code reviews live.
