I need to create a distributed cloud-based MV environment, obviously smaller than Facebook but using the same concept of "shards" for distributed storage and computing. So far most of the Pick people I talk to have no idea what I'm talking about let alone how to implement it with MV. We're not gurus if we don't speak the same language as the rest of the world. As to "old SQL", there is a revolution going on out there and I'm wondering if other MV people have seen this: Look at the data storage for Android, Google App Engine, AmazonDB, etc. All of these platforms and others are using name/value pairs with some relational functionality, but they're not using SQL. Once again we're missing a whole new generation of data hungry applications. While there are still new methods of data storage and retrieval being created all the time, the MV market needs to define a consistent web service / REST API for data access and rule execution, accessible from any client. (That's easy, I have done this many times for various projects and for most MV platforms.) >From there, professionals in this community can position as experts to provide applications, DBMS support services, rules in BASIC, hosting, and mentoring for a new generation of people who might like to use BASIC for rules rather than Java, Ruby, Go, or whatever else they're just starting to learn.
