Missing high level (user level) summary. For example, what does it mean that a VM already exist in the setup? If I had a VM with 10GB disk, without an OS installed, then exported it, then installed an OS into it (so now the disk is a bit full, as opposed to the emptied exported one). Does it means that an identical entity already exist in the setup or not? (think of overwriting files). The design should (ALWAYS?) start with the user flow. 2. 'clone' doesn't strike me as a great parameter name in the API. Not in the UI either (but I don't have a better suggestion - yet). 3. What is the equivalent to 'suffix' in the API? Or do we expect to provide a name when we import? I'm not sure how the API works in the case of an existing VM, really. Only after we fetch via the API the fact

it has an existing VM, we give it a new suffix? 4. Small typos (I'll fix them later directly in the wiki, except for the mockups, which I can't fix).
