Daniel, I like the ideas you posted there. I left some specific comments: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Talk:Features/Content_support
Reuben: >> -Allow one to synchronously or asynchronously share >> a book to their >> Neighborhood so anyone can download and read it. 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. http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/3431 SJ On Tue, Jul 20, 2010 at 4:29 PM, Daniel Drake <d...@laptop.org> wrote: > On 20 July 2010 12:33, Reuben K.
