Future work

The File Repository is the research vehicle for several other projects on data consistency and distributed applications, and the offline delegation mechanism will be used by these other projects whenever feasible.

One related project uses the File Repository to hold information about appointments. The offline delegation mechanism enables users to delegate access rights to other users in order to let them either read diary information or to (selectively) update it. The Global Distributed Diary (GDD) project explores these issues further.
