Hi,
some days ago I found an insightful comment on a slashdot story about Google.
If Coda-alike is going to be written from scratch, it might be Google who does that... or anyone who sees the potential and has enough money.
Coda did it right, just evolved too slowly to come in time, or may be we still have a chance?
I mean a chance to have a full-scale free technology instead of a proprietary one
which otherwise would fill the niche and attract (and force) the community to use and pay for the technology, besides the services?
Coda is still unique, and there is a clear interest for global file service... Now it _is_ possible to use Coda for making money, offer services and be paid for them, not for the technology.

Personally, I think it makes massive sense to build a "desktop" stack of applications delivered over the internet and with centrally stored, encrypted data and to sell that service on a recurring subscription basis. If the apps worked across platforms from my laptop to my cell phone and provided easy access to the knowledge of the world, I would seriously think about paying that monthly fee (provided they did not spam me with targetted ads or sell my PII).
...
The applications delivery is already taken care of by Konvalo.org. A decent "homedir" service with an application environment will fit nicely for those needs.
