v36 v37 66 66 * async notifications 67 67 68 What a ''lot'' of people really want is an alternative to Dropbox — something that functions very like Dropbox but without exposing your plaintext to spying and corruption. David-Sarah implemented a part of this with the drop-upload feature. It seems to me that the blocker which prevents Tahoe-LAFS from doing the rest of it is that LAFS clients have no way to get an asynchronous notification that a file has changed (i.e., so that they don't have to poll to find out if the file has changed). So: could we add that? Why not just define a remote interface offered by LAFS clients to LAFS servers. The remo ve interface is "hey_you_this_file_has_changed(storageindex)".68 What a ''lot'' of people really want is an alternative to Dropbox — something that functions very like Dropbox but without exposing your plaintext to spying and corruption.
