Re: [clouds] Clouds SDO gap analysis template (a Table)

[Mark Webb <[e-mail]>]

I think the cloud-standards.org wiki is a fine effort.  Ad-hoc and  
informal, but with fine goals.

However, it doesn't capture the full picture or all significant SDO  
and forum working on cloud related standards and profiles.  TMF (very  
important IMO) and ITU-T cloud working group, (less significant now  
but carries weight) are two that are not on this site.

There is work to be done IMO.
