Yep, do a google on www.e164.org and you'll see an example in the asterisk community of distributed information being shared.
Just wondering if people here are planning on shared apps like this or has the realization hit that some of the best apps are going to have to be delivered on a price per month basis. I haven't discussed it here yet as lets face it until we have hardware and a development platform the point is moot.

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.
