I'm exited about digging in to this one.  We'll try to make questions to
this list as informed as possible, and give anyone here that is
interested the chance to review the guide at semi-regular intervals.

I'll get in touch with Robyn for EC2, and I guess
infra at lists.fedoraproject.org for openstack?

Are there other platforms we should consider targeting after that?
Joyent and rackspace come to mind, and others who might be willing to
donate a few cycles in exchange for some exposure - if we wanted to go
in that direction. I'm not sure what support we have in terms of
tooling, images, and the like. This might be covered by the what is
already outlined in the guide; please be patient, as I'll probably have
some stupid questions until I get settled in :)

Your draft looks interesting, especially for the guide introduction.
I'll watch the page, and perhaps shamelessly borrow copy.
