The File Repository is the research vehicle for several other projects on data consistency and distributed applications, and the offline delegation mechanism will be used by these other projects whenever feasible.
One related project uses the File Repository to hold information about
appointments.
The offline delegation mechanism enables users to delegate access
rights to other users in order to let them either read diary
information or to (selectively) update it.
The Global Distributed Diary (GDD) project explores these
issues further.
