As I mentioned before, I am currently working on the multi-selection
support for Journal (which is a prerequisite for the cloud journal
and explains why I haven't been very active on this thread). Anyway, I
am listening to other's technical and non-technical ideas, but _my_
approach is first to provide extra storage capacity on the XS in the
most transparent way to the end users.
Therefore,
In the non-technical front, I believe we should stick to the Journal
integration idea, displaying this resource exactly how we display
removable devices.
In the technical front, I haven't checked all the solutions mentioned
but I would definitely go with something that _already_ provides
support for regular file system interaction. With something like that
(and please someone let me know if I am wrong), the integration part
will be a lot easier, like i.e (as Walter commented) we could use
his/mine/jasg documents folder patch.

Interesting. Does WebDAV work as a normal mount, like CIFS or NFS?
From the PoV of the user, yes, it looks like a mountpoint.
Technically, you can mount it at the linux kernel level, at the gnome
IO libraries level, or from Sugar, with a pure python implmentation.
What would be the best way to get this working on Sugar?
You don't have a lot of time it seems. I'd implement it on top of
gnome VFS of in pure Python. In both cases, I'd make it look like
another disk from the Journal (as an initial implementation at least).
I'd say talk with Martin Abente, he's looking into this problem space.
Could we maybe split this thread and keep technical discussions focused on
XS-devel and Sugar-devel lists? I think this could also also help in getting
some non-technical and/or end-user feedback and suggestion from people on
IAEP who aren't into all the technical details (something which I think tch
was also interested in).
Thanks,
Christoph
