The big problem with a lot of these applications being suggested is it will require back end servers to store the data. I'm yet to see anyone suggest "SAAS" pricing models for FIC applications on a monthly/annual basis or is everyone on this list still thinking that open source means free.
I'm not discounting this, but I'll be opening up a port or two on my firewall first - most home-use router/gateway boxes support port forwarding quite easily now - and with something like xampp, even most windows-based folks can set up a database server on their home machine quite easily too. To connect the 'home-servers' together, you could use dynamic dns or a centralised server which takes a known OpenMoko-ID and spits back the current IP/Port and/or operational status.
