It would be great if there was some kind of README in cloud-kickstarts git repo and/or wiki & Cloud Guide that has some docs on how to create cloud image.

It's kind of in flux. The current approach (and probably what we're sticking with for F19) is to use appliance-creator from the appliance-tools package. We're going to be moving to something that uses anaconda natively in a VM -- probably Oz, but the fundamentals are the same.

So....

I've tried to build it myself with livemedia-creator and got "Only url install method is currently supported. Please fix your kickstart file." error.

... that's why you're getting that. The kickstart files are still geared for appliance-tools, and there's a few adjustments that need to be made to make them work in other anaconda-based tools.

A command line something like

sudo appliance-creator -c fedora-19-x86_64-cloud.ks -d -v -o /var/tmp/f19-appliance --name Fedora 19 --release 19 --vmem 2048 --vcpu 2 --format raw

should do it.

Other thing is that cloud-kickstarts should probably be packaged or merged with spin-kickstarts.

Yes, the kind of convergence is definitely a goal.
