Does anybody have any thoughts on the differences between Sandstorm, Camlistore, and Tent?
It seems there are a number of problems here. We need:
1. Better data stores
2. Better server environments
3. Better ways to share data with others
I wonder if Camlistore's approach might not be the cleanest, since it doesn't try to bundle (1) and (2) together.
EDIT: Not to get too sappy, but any of these would be _fantastic_ compared to our current Web 2.0 disaster, and I'm glad Sandstorm is picking up steam.
Camlistore and Tent are both complimentary to Sandstorm. Sandstorm gives you a way to run apps easily, Camlistore is a structured storage system which other apps could connect to, and Tent is a federation protocol that apps could use to talk to each other. I'd like to see this all converge at some point. :)
I'm suspicious there's too much overlap between Camlistore and Tent for them to both be useful, since they each do data storage and sharing, but that's not your problem:)
