I’d edit my previous post, but ‘Edit’ isn’t available. So… When I typed “Community clouds can have a degree of normal general clouds”, I meant “Community clouds can have a degree of the benefits of normal general clouds”. They often don’t have the full impact of cloud benefits because they’re necessarily focused. — Tom

The ‘Answer’ list seems to be potential benefits of “clouds” in general, but not “community clouds”. Community clouds can have a degree of normal general clouds. What makes them special, though, is their ‘community’ nature. And as with most ‘communities’, their specific benefits are important only to community members. Benefits of a ‘healthcare-community’ cloud would likely be different from an ‘open-source-community’ cloud. — Tom

For what ‘community’? I’d fully expect the benefits to be specific to the ‘community’ that the cloud is structured to serve. — Tom
