Hi Peter, this website was only meant to be seen once Docker is actually open-source, which will be the case very soon.

I do think there is a need for a standard way to package and share software at the filesystem and process level - we don't pretend to define that standard, but hopefully we can contribute to it by open-sourcing a real-world implementation.

I guess I read too far into it when I saw the word "standard" everywhere and got excited - sorry about that. Do you plan on adding to your implementation the ability to differentiate between compatible versions/platforms, so one could use this on several cloud instances that aren't built the same?

Yes, that is definitely something we would like to add. And we will gladly accept pull requests :)
