Except if you scratch your itch on dotCloud, you can't run it on your own laptop like you can with Cloud Foundry Micro or on other services that might have a better interface like AppFog. That's the problem with contributing to a closed source project.
- shykes 15y agoLucas, I think you're being unfair to the dotCloud community. If I scratch my itch on dotCloud and share a cool Wordpress [1] or Thin [2] stack, how is that not open?

For the sake of openness, I encourage you to share your secret PHP sauce as a custom dotCloud build. There's a whole community of hackers doing the same.
