- Can we adapt it to a storage backend which doesn't use a shared
filesystem?
yes, but i think it would be very silly to write such a thing for a single extension. is the FileRepo interface generic enough to be used for something like this? (while that would still use NFS for now, it could easily be changed to HTTP or whatever else we decide to use in the future.)
No, it's not. Might be worth looking into...as Brion said, providing a core interface for extensions to generate images on-demand with standardized backend support would be great.
FSRepo might be of some use and might start us in the right direction.
