I pushed hard and encourage where ever possible for Tomboy Online and for Tomboy Online to be hosted by the GNOME Foundation. I think we can create and host even more free online services. I think with more users will come more use models. I think we could keep our numbers small and charge for the service - many of us would be willing to pay for free/open services. Or we can find other business models like the basic model is free and you pay for additional features. There are many models to explore, but I think creating the services and getting users is the first step. I think there is a great need for free and open web services/cloud computing/<insert your favorite name for it here>. Stormy
