And is SQL-Ldger a cloud application? All our data is in house, so maybe if we hosted it off site it could be? But I think of clouds as providing a service and maintaining the main program that you are storing data in.
Jeff, My unoffial understanding is that a cloud application is equivalent to software-as-a-service; that is, the application is hosted on a (preferably secured) web server somewhere and individuals or companies can log in and use the application with their own data stored there.
Its nice to see more interest in the program all the same.
SL, at least the Ledger-123 flavor, is like Slackware (The Quiet Distribution): it's robust, flexible, well-supported and Just Works(TM). But, it's not in the forefront of the public's attention. Of course, that web page describing the course project that started this thread could apply to any (and every) F/OSS project, including the kernel, tools like GRASS <http://grass.osgeo.org/>, R <http://www.r-project.org/>, LaTeX/LyX <http://www.lyx.org/> and so on. As a matter of fact, they are more appropriate models than the original SL. Dieter kicked many of us off the mail list before shutting it down because he didn't want the comments or help (as I understand it).
