That’s great. I like that. We need to get more of that on the desktop, as I have remarked before.

Possibly WebDAV with some single signon authentication on top of it. There is no reason to have to invent a new service. I think what you are looking for is WebDAV.

You make it look like an ordinary desktop, with “Word Processor”, “Email Client”, “Web Browser”, etc, but the word processor is Writely and the email client is Gmail, both of which come up in their own chromeless window so they seem like a separate application, and the web browser is a stock Firefox window. You might not even need X for this. Obviously it’d be about as much use as a chocolate teapot without access to the net. File storage is online, and each “web app” you use has been hacked (with GreaseMonkey or similar) to save to your online repository; you get a “file manager” which is probably some Ajax thing to manipulate the files on the remote server and to open them in an appropriate application (where the URL of the remote file gets sent to the local host, which then opens one of its “applications” like Writely and passes it the URL of the file to open).

Observe that the OpenID people say "This is not a trust system. Trust requires identity first."

I'm not very knowledgable about OpenID (I only skimmed the spec), but why would you use something *like* OpenID and not just use OpenID *itself*? I really like the sound of all that working together.

There’s a clone of S3 called Park Place, so the “run your own servers” part is now handled. What’s missing is integration into applications. That’s something that someone should get onto with the greatest of speed; take your favourite web app that creates things and build some integration so it can save data onto your own personal S3 space (whether S3 itself or your own Park Place at an arbitrary URL). Then submit your patch to the upstream people so they incorporate it, or release a GreaseMonkey script to do it in the interim.
