Re: [Owncloud] FLOSS alternative to Dropbox – GNOME + KDE collaboration?

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.
