Hi Roberto, As Venkatraman said, Silver Lining seems to be aimed more at distribution.
Also, they have stated in the docs that it is locked down heavily to the host OS, and it would appear that the whole thing is tied into libcloud (which is completely the opposite from the direction we want to go in). However, as vain as this sounds, I really do like the documentation style they have used, so I'll probably nab that ;D I'm going to draw up an outline of what we want the project to achieve, and the principles behind it, so everyone can get a chance to have some input into the initial design.
