Nah, just meant that we could keep the  redirect on 
http://cloud.fedoraproject.org/ and have 
http://cloud.fedoraproject.org/images be a simple list.

That is probably closest to what I meant, a little image heavy, but 
sufficient.

I'm think in terms of being able to automate the upload of a set of 
images when they are generated to Glance instances.  Thus, a page of 
links I can fetch via curl, parse, and then potentially download the 
individual images.
