After looking more into the git annex working, I understand the use of symlinks, but they are not always correctly handled by OSX.
Apple's Timemachine uses hardlinks for example...
Not being able to easily edit files that are in the repo without problems or quirks makes it unusable as a dropbox replacement and version control, which is a shame.

It seems many people complain about symlink behavior in Lion and Mountain Lion.
I never used symlinks to files often, only to folders.
I hope you can solve this problems and make it work correctly in OSX, or use hardlinks instead.
Git annex sound awesome, but the people using the assistant will want KISS behavior, and don't even know what a symbolic link is.

Ok, so it seems Sharebox solves all this problems...you might want to integrate sharebox into the assistant, so non-techie people can treat the repos as mutable.
Maybe make a mutable/unmutable toggle in the gui or somethink like that?
What I don't understand is the need for kqueue, if the files are not supposed to be written to without unlocking, why not use FSEvents and only monitor the folders for new files.

Seems sharebox development stopped a year ago...now that you are working on the assistant, which sound awesome, I think you really should consider pick up the sharebox development and integrate it.
Too bad I missed kickstarter, but I might donate now.
I just find it wierd that it said \"Like Dropbox\" on the title, but sharebox-like functionality is not on the roadmap, and being able to easily edit the files is a big feature of dropbox.

I think a lot of people misinterpreted \"phone/mp3 player\" as \"Android\"; I know I did.
As you already support directories, MTP would be needed to support the other half of pretty much all phones and media players (other than those made by Apple). MTP is a valley of pain, though.

You can easily do that with IAM, checkout <http://andrewhitchcock.org/?post=325>.
It boils down to creating a policy for each user/bucket. But allow read access to the full bucket list (otherwise the AWS Console won't work).

Month 3 was all about easy setup, so I kind of expected to download a deb package and just install it, not to download a whole bunch of haskell libraries. Is there a chance that you will release some packages?

This is what the assistant should aim to be...\"Like Dropbox\", but even better.
I would guess many people who pledged were thinking of this.

Stefan: \"annex is for managing big binary files that not get modified most of the time and only added/synced or deleted.\"
While this is true, the kickstarter title for assistant was \"Like dropbox\", and dropbox makes it transparent to edit files and they work with the filesystem.
So with assistant, lock/unlock should be automated and transparent to the user. Otherwise it's confusing and not simple at all to use, and at least OSX keeps giving errors because of the way it handles aliases.
So something like sharebox is essential to be included in assistant in my opinion.
