[Samuel Klein]

Daniel,

I like the ideas you posted there.  I left some specific comments:

I don't know how synchronous would work - but that sounds like a
feature for bookreaders.

Asynchronously, there are regular requests for both a "share [file]
with [target]" feature
   http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8171

and a way to share public Journal items constantly while online; as
comes up in both "global shared datastore" and "share files over the
mesh" discussions.
