[BBLISA] Something like getdropbox?

[K. M. Peterson]

I'd love to get an answer to this, too.

There seems to be a class of applications of this type that would seem  
to be fairly small programming projects too large to take on myself,  
and yet not large enough to have attracted interest in making a  
project somewhere on Source Forge.

The mega-expansion of a thing like this is Oracle Collaboration Suite,  
which has all sorts of Neat Things in addition, but has significant  
costs for acquisition and maintenance.  That's not a serious  
suggestion, but it's a highlight of the fact that this seems like a  
simple app that "someone should have thought up" as a FOSS project.

You can, to some extent, use DAV and Subversion to do this, but I  
suspect that's not really a good fit either.  I've been looking  
myself, and  just haven't seen anything that just does this limited  
task.  I agree that using getdropbox is an issue because I don't want  
to trust anyone outside my control - but it'd sure be nice if the code  
was there to use...
