There are a couple weird bugs that +I don't understand yet. OSX app is still not working everywhere. + +---- + +Got the list of repositories in the webapp to update automatically when +repositories are added, including when syncing with a remote causes +repositories to be discovered. + +---- + +I need a plan for the rest of the month. It feels right to focus on more +cloud storage support. Particularly because all the cloud providers +supported so far are ones that, while often being best of breed, also cost +money. To finish up the cloud story, need support for some free ones. + +Looking at the results of the [[polls/prioritizing_special_remotes]] +poll, I suspect that free storage is a large part of why Google Drive got +so many votes. Soo, since there is not yet a Haskell library for Google +Drive, rather than spending a large chunk of time writing one, I hope to +use a [Haskell WebDAV library](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/DAV) +that my friend Clint recently wrote. A generic +WebDAV special remote in git-annex will provide much better support for +box.com (which has 5 to 50 gb free storage), as well as all the +[OwnCloud providers](http://owncloud.org/providers/), at least one of which +provides 5 gb free storage. + +If I have time left this month after doing that, I'd be inclined to do +Amazon Glacier. People have already gotten that working with git-annex, but +a proper special remote should be better/easier, and will allow integrating +support for it into the assistant, which should help deal with its long +retrieval delays. And since, if you have a lot of data +archived in Glacier, you will only want to pull out a few files at a time, +this is another place besides mobile phones where a [[partial_content]] +retrieval UI is needed. Which is on the roadmap to be worked on next +month-ish. Synergy, here I come. I hope.
