[Building Sakai] amazon cloud & resources

[Adam Marshall]

Initially we were thinking of using Amazon as a "large file store" which was under the control of the user, ie, the user could buy as much extra storage "within Resources" as they wanted. I guess this would usually be for movie files so streaming would be a definite bonus.
