Thanks, that's a relevant question. There are the overall benefits of moving to the cloud (as one experiences in gmail, google docs, etc.). Specifically in CoderBuddy, the benefits right now, which are going to be more valuable to some folks than others can include:

- quick accessibility, nothing to download, install and configure (especially useful for folks who've been meaning to play w/ App Engine for a while but haven't gotten around to it, and also folks who are newer to web application programming in general -- something we've seen in tests with workshops)

- cloud backup

- easy accessibility of code from different machines

- collaboration with multiple developers (you can add developers to a project)

As we build out the application and start growing a community, there'll be more neat things going on with collaboration and more.
