IMHO to make Stratos popular we should concentrate more on Cartridges. Somebody who looks at Stratos as an aPaaS will always ask these questions
-Is there a Stratos cartridge that can run my application. (cartridge catalogue, good documentation) -If not how I can create my own cartridge to run my application with minimum effort(Good documentation, easy step guides, demos) Stratos need long way to go regarding variety, stability, ease of use, portability of cartridges and I think now is the time to concentrate more on cartridges.
