Steps are:
1. update API.md -- it is for REST API user to read
2. update controller, adding the corresponding collection and resource 
to make it dispatch to the right model implementation.
     Also, the API.json will be updated( if applicable), to specify the 
right parameter type and pattern of REST API
3. add model.py and mockmodel.py for implementation, this layer wraps 
libvirt call and the system lib
4. testcases, for tricky function we add unit test, for model we add 
test_model.py, for the controller logic and params checking, use 
test_rest.py.
5. when you add new file, update Makefile.am in its directory
     when you add new python-lib, update spec file and README

It is hard to say what causes this, maybe you can send an RFC to let 
guys to help you,
But a quick debug tip I usually use is:
in src/kimchi/control/base.py you can see these:
             except NotFoundError, msg:
                 raise cherrypy.HTTPError(404, "Not found: '%s'" % 
msg)-->change it to *raise*
Instead of let cherrypy handle it, I will raise this NotFoundError 
directly, this print the call stack and show me where exactly went wrong.
