* Shell friendly errors. When cli (the shell command tool) is failing, it would be good, for shell users, to have a nicer output in text format, not html/css. The latter could be kept for webgui errors only.
* 'tahoe sync'. The proposed #601 bidirectional sync option would be great for using tahoe as we would with dropbox (<http://www.getdropbox.com/>). Like the latter, the user could have a daemon which keeps things in sync in pollings within a one or two seconds schedule (maybe using inotify for uploads). In pratical terms an user could have many machines pointing to the same tahoe:dir, each machine mapping this resource to a local directory, and all these machines could then have their local copies in sync, via tahoe:dir. I think this is good when someone have many machines and alternate use between them, like a notebook, a home desktop and an office desktop, for instance.
* sshfs working properly in linux boxes. Yeah, my Fedora 9 isn't ok with trunk revision, it keep showing me the same first level directories in any level :)
