I've done a bit of work on the new Rackspace API (and a lot on
knife-openstack), it's a little bit different from the OpenStack API.
I was waiting on one of your fellow Rackers to help me on adding the
v2 Rackspace API to fog, but I haven't heard back. If you're
interested in working on this, contact me off list and we'll start a
conversation about building this.

Thanks,
