One might think the Google GData system is agnostic to and works quite well with a distributed filesystem like Google's (http://labs.google.com/papers/gfs-sosp2003.pdf)
Getting back to Doug's original point about this as a possible SoC project: it seems a little too big from the technical discussion so far. Part of the SoC's goal is to motivate a student into being able to say they created something, and getting them to enjoy the open-source development process. If a piece of work is big enough that a student working on it part-time during the summer can't finish it (or finish a beta / 1.0 version), it could be frustrating to the student, which would go against the spirit of SoC as I understand it...
