[Owncloud] Tahoe-LAFS

[Frank Karlitschek]

Hi Tooko,

this sounds great. I will definitely look into Tahoe-LAFS.

On problem might be that Tahoe-LAFS has to be installed on the server and not everybody has it available on his/her personal webspace.
The idea of ownCloud is that a users can just extract a tar file into a subdirectoy of a webserver and ownCloud runs. It souldn´t require shell or root access to install.

But Tahoe-LAFS might be a nice optional backend.
I will look into it and see if it work together with ownCloud.

Thanks

Cheers
Frank
