Hi Deb, Well there's lots of stuff to build on, and I am (notably protocol software and JavaScript libraries), but I'm really approach a very different problem than DropBox (synchronizes collections of documents), or Google (shared copy of a document). I'm going after:
- everyone has their own copy of a document
- edits apply directly, with a measure of configuration control (like editing a wiki and maintaining synchronized copies)
- no central server required
- n
Funny thing, this is EXACTLY what I'm trying to do with smart notebooks. The goal is that it's the documents that subscribe to and receive update streams - keeping themselves synchronized as connectivity allows. Open a document and it's always relatively up-to-date. Notifications will be available as RSS/Atom streams, but are purely optional.
