 Yeah, I don't feel like I can provide any insight about this though, up to
 you and Collabora.

 > 2) Will the mesh view scale if shared objects are put there?  If it's
 not the mesh view, then we need to implement and integrate whatever view
 that is.

 I discussed this with Eben. I think we are overloading the Mesh view, and
 not just in term of number of items. There are also just too many
 different kind of objects in it. I think we will need a different view.

 > 3) What's the journal interaction here?

 I think Eben clarified this, the specific control we use doesn't matter
 that much.

 > 4) Is this essentially just downloading an object from somebody else?
 In that sense it's not really a "shared" object at all, just a mesh-
 accessible object store from which you can grab&copy an object

 That's correct.
