This may be slightly off topic but would it be possible to design the server in such a way that not only system administrators could setup and manage but also the advanced home user? From a usability standpoint it would be nice to have the application be broad enough so many people could use it easily. I think it would be very handy to have the ability to setup multiple machines for storage and then have the clients be able to save files to a pool of storage made up of these machines. Perhaps even roll the server and client into one application so that each machine can perform both functions in a distributed or P2P kind of fashion.
Anyway, just some thoughts. I look forward to hearing more about progress on this project. -Patrick On Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 12:57 PM, Máirín Duffy <du...@gnome.org> wrote: > On Tue, 2010-03-23 at 13:41 -0500, Ted Gould wrote: > > Hmm, okay, sorry I was confused.
