Comment:

 By which process are the files transferred to the school server?

 In which structure are the files stored? And the metadata?

 Which searching, sorting and filtering functionality we would need in that
 remote journal component?

 If we need a complex web module for this, perhaps would be easier to
 implement support in the datastore for remote entries.

 In the journal we would need no other modification other than adapt to the
 difference of speed in the queries.

 In the datastore, we would need a new backend that would connect to a
 remote xapian in the school server, and when files are requested, retrieve
 and make them accessible locally. See OllyBetts' comment in #2711.

 So we need to decide what to do about this in the future milestones.
