gdrive, cloud computing etc.

Talking of the gdrive (cf 'thin client', 'software as a service', 'cloud computing' etc), there's a useful summary of some of the risks/advantages of these kind of services on p.44 of this document:

Minerva Project, UKOLN and MLA. 2008. Technical Guidelines For Digital Cultural Content Creation Programmes Version 1.1 Revised 18 May 2008. http://www.minervaeurope.org/structure/workinggroups/servprov/documents/techguid1_0.pdf

I'm not sure if any of us have mentioned this document, but its very useful (glossaries, references etc. as well as guidelines) and you might like to download a copy for your own reference.
