There are many people who enjoy curating content who are obsessive sticklers for bad metadata. The problem is giving these sort of people exclusive access to curating the content and eliminating access from random yokels. I think a capability system is a great way to accomplish this and has been the main focus of my development efforts so far and I can thank Tahoe completely for the idea. Obsessively meticulous content curators can build whatever content libraries they want and have exclusive access to managing their contents. I'm shooting for a 1:1 mapping to git's data model, so the potential exists for a translation layer that would allow people to use git-related tools to manage the repositories, complete with all the content curation potential that git-style workflows would bring to the table. I'm pretty excited about the work I've seen in git annex and the potential for other programs to tap into the git ecosystem. -- Tony Arcieri
