Comment:

 We discussed this at length in a meeting some weeks ago.

 The file format on the school server is *exactly* the one on the XO.  We
 are doing a simple rsync of the files from the XO to the school server.

 As a start, we don't need *any* searching or sorting.  Just extracting the
 human-readable names of the files from the datastore metadata and
 displaying them in a unadorned list would be sufficient to allow children
 a simple file-sharing ability.

 It's true that we might want more a more elaborate implementation in the
 future, but let's restrict discussion to what is absolutely required by
 FRS.
