Can anyone explain what Liblime's "groundbreaking cloud computing platform" is?
I suspect the "cloud computing platform" is Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), but with Liblime's past use, it might be something from Google instead. I'm not sure why it's groundbreaking beyond the cloud service itself. Our co-op has been cloud-hosting Koha since 2003 (is that before most people called it the cloud?) and now our hosting supports WWF, VideoLAN, the International Federation of Human Rights, debian and more. I'm quite happy to add a Koha Foundation to that list once we have one. That's the sort of benefit a co-op will give because we're a for-service business, rather than a simple for-profit one. I think my early focuses were making the 1.2 installer support VirtualHosting and securing the SQL against the sort of attacks that are more common against hosted web apps... so it's nice to see it getting more popular, in a way. I wish it wasn't announced in a PR before the community email lists saw it, though.
