Some you may have seen this, but I posted a little cloud computing
glossary on my blog. Terms include cloudburst, cloud spanning,
cloudsourcing, internal clouds, vertical clouds, cloud-oriented
architecture, etc.

http://gevaperry.typepad.com/main/2008/08/new-cloud-compu.html

Note that this is not an attempt to judge whether these terms are
valid or not. It is merely an attempt to catalog what I am seeing used
in practice.

If anyone has any more suggestions, by all means. It's probably worth
putting in some kind of wiki so anyone can contribute/improve. I'll
get to that t some point (or if anyone wants to pick that up).

Regards,
Geva

Agreed.  Doubtless there will be bickering over definitions (particularly from,parties with their own agendas) but a WIKI would be a nice self-policing effor to establish a common vocabulary.

Cheers,

Wiki for the group is good idea, question is who's gonna reliably host it, so that everyone is happy.
Would be good to have it hosted on one of existing cloud platforms or distributed across continents.
