That's a good question. Maintaining a separate Web site is a fair amount
of work, but *might* be worth it. I lean towards trying to keep the
projects/products all on the same site, though.
So, just for clarification, we weren't looking for answers to those
questions specifically (although I agree tentatively with your
assessments here, it's up to the Design team and FPL / advisory board to
decide.) We were more trying to give a flavor for the kinds of
questions that are starting to be posed towards us that are driving us
to this research in order to figure out the best answers.

Fedora Cloud provides a customizable base image and tools for developing
scale out applications on public and private clouds.

Developers creating scale out applications on top of public and private
clouds.

* On public cloud (AWS) various AMIs (Amazon, CentOS, Ubuntu) that are
popular.
* BitNami images on public + private clouds.
* PaaS offerings (Heroku, Engine Yard, OpenShift)
* Docker
* Windows Azure (Not sure how successfully...)

I think we can respond by December 4th, if not sooner.
Thoughts, comments, flames?
Looks fantastic so far and already helps me personally understand the
product space better than I did before! :)
