My first thought when I read Linus's post on Google+ was that this would allow cloud sync without the cloud provider needing to know anything about diving. Whereas most application/cloud/app sync relies on a domain-aware server, for this you could simply use github/bitbucket/yourownserver. You could then even implement a service which implements git push/pull, but which has a full website allowing sharing, editting, social media, etc OR with a little help from web hooks it could simply be a passive service with no data store of its own. The possibilities are immense. I'm very excited by this. _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
