Hi all,

I'm wondering what thought has gone into making Leo cloud capable, whether 
by:

   - Implementing regular polling of the .leo file, reverting from the file 
   if a newer version of the .leo file is detected (suitable for file sync 
   cloud setups like Dropbox), or
   - Implementing a browser-based leo-like editor written in 
   <brain-haemorrhage>javascript</brain-haemorrhage> which can import/export 
   .leo files, but stores nodes on a server, or 
   - Having the normal Leo desktop client store its nodes on the web, 
   perhaps with the help of some server-side code which users can set up to 
   run under Apache.

I'm feeling that the use of a .leo file as the *primary* means for outline 
storage has over time has turned from Leo's strength to Leo's biggest 
weakness. The .leo xml format is great for import/export, but I suggest 
that Leo should be capable of storing its nodes as database rows, or as web 
objects, or other forms that can work with the cloud.

For interest, I recommend looking at the 
Checkvist<http://www.checkvist.com>online outliner. It misses all of Leo's real 
killer features, but for what 
it is, it's brilliant and can offer some ideas to Leo's future evolution.

Thoughts?

Cheers
David

PS I just used Leo to construct a long university essay. Wonderful it was 
to have the various pieces sitting in nodes where I could see the 
high-level structure and freely rearrange at will. Just another way that 
Leo has helped me massively over the last decade! :)
