Open Stack

I strongly think OpenStack could benefit from deploying an OpenComparison clone site: http://opencomparison.org/

It'd be useful not only for building out listings (and metrics) on client libraries/SDKs, but also on OpenStack-compatible projects. Need an OpenStack-compatible PaaS layer and don't know which to choose? You could go to the handy site, find the "Platform" section and look at the matrix of projects to determine features, development activity, etc. It's a tremendously useful tool that's worked for various other frameworks to expand and support their community.

Perhaps I'll make that a hacking project over a weekend...
