The first iteration of this script is meant to operate on the primary ibay
only; as documented in the header of the script and the howto.  The next
iteration will operate on all ibays.

Yes, I have seen Shad's indexer in action your site and it looks like he's
done a fine job on it.  I really like, as do many of the folks in my shop,
the Lophty layout.  It's very similar to the Windows Explorer.  My rewrite
of Lophty in perl mirrors this layout, but adds quite a bit more
functionality.  I haven't had a chance to look at Shad's code, but plan to
in the very near future.  Maybe we can merge the two sets of code and have a
couple of different layouts, or skins.

> 1) What are your intended design goals?

My personal goals are two fold:
  -  Build a centralized, web based, file repository that mirrors my current
project data shares (~16gb of data).  The intention is to provide a means
for my engineers to access project data from remote job locations with slow
modem connections (VPN has WAY too much bandwidth overhead for such a
connection).  This file repository would sync itself up with the project
data files once or twice per day using rsync.

  - Expand on a collaboration app so that it offers functionality found at
www.eproject.com.  Up until about a week ago, Twiggi was my first choice for
such an effort.  Due to my inability to obtain current source code, I think
I'll look for more GPL friendly project.  Maybe one that is written in perl
so I feel more at home.

> 2) Which goals does the webshare project already meet?

Conceptually, it provides the means for uploading files.

> 3) Which goals does it not?

The authentication mechanism is too rigid for what I'm looking for. I'd like
something that has the ability to both rely on current SME accounts and
accept new "guest type" logins.  See Shad's earlier post on this thread.  I
really like his ideas.

> 4) There are a large number of existing file share projects available.

Not as many as one might think.  I've spent a good deal of time researching
existing solutions and was disappointed.  It might be possible to expand on
one...
