Good question. I think the answer is yes, but it wouldn't be trivial. First of all, the infrastructure piece is tightly coupled to waterken. Kenton may be able to comment on how big the difference with Sandstorm is. That's not the main reason, though, which is that what we have now is the first implementation. I believe the first version's sole purpose is to tell you what you should have done. So, even if we got the go ahead to proceed with a product, I think we'd have to start over. We also have to add support for directories, but at least Dropbox and the like tell us what semantics we need to support, something we were unsure of at the time. ________________________ Alan Karp Principal Scientist Enterprise Services, Office of the CTO Hewlett-Packard Company 1501 Page Mill Road Palo Alto, CA 94304 (650) 857-3967, fax (650) 857-7029 http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Alan_Karp
