I think the apps should...

...never ever ever store data using anything other than abstract NoSQL connections.

...make it as easy as possible for a dev from the startup world to dive in.

...have awesome UX.

...be developed on GitHub (until we create a superior replacement :)

I think the top short-term goal is to make some progress and become as attractive a project as possible to startup-world web developers' spare time.

I think we'll be much better off in a year if we've written a coherent set of modern, readable, NoSQL apps.

Anything that leads to FB progress! (Apps, tools, distros...)

I'll be using NodeJS/Coffee/C, but others might not.

You're right, a Debian list probably isn't the place to discuss development.

But it's the only known place so far for joining forces with other FB enthusiasts.
