(Oops, caught a bounce on this.) A potential additional future direction would be looking at file management -- if the infrastructure to share/publish documents in a p2p fashion is already present, managing them locally would be a logical extension, providing the same hierarchical and non-hierarchical indexing capabilities, as well as associating them with the metadata already present in the system -- contacts, projects, meetings, etc. This would allow the system to present a total view of all the user's activities. An interface view like Gelernter's Lifestreams might be a useful addition, as calendar data, emails, etc, would round out the file based view of history. /P. -- Ideas are my favorite toys.
