Right, but how many campuses will want to do that? How many will bother? How 
many will ignore the whole issue because they're being told that moving to 
this new approach suddenly requires extra work from them?

The group consenus was that while nothing we do should or will make that 
approach difficult for people to implement, we shouldn't focus on it as a 
workaround for delivering a reliable service.

All that said, the Dropbox idea is a good one. Why not piggyback on existing 
cloud services? I like it.
