Maybe, but the moment they get their own domain, it all falls apart.  
Editing a text file and typing in a few UNIX commands is well beyond the 
competency of your average individual.  Certainly motivated non-geeks 
can figure this stuff out, but it's somewhat painful.

A control panel style interface, I believe, would be the watershed 
moment that would enable Hcoop to be accessible to the non-geek realm.

I fully agree that our goal should be to maximize inclusivity, I just 
don't think we're built for it right now.
