My opinion (because it looks like people want opinions here):

I was/am definitely one of the hcoop members put off by relearning AFS and
domtool stuff when I wanna add something to my account.  The main problem
with AFS that I have isn't that it's networked (which is a great idea) but
that I can't use the usual unix permission commands to manipulate my files.

I think it's indeed awkward that only 2 people have replied to the
original request.

I'm giving my opinion because I think I need to get more involved, but
giving my opinion is the only thing I can really commit to.

I think it would be unwise to go in a direction where no volunteer member
has a certain expertise.  Home networking doesn't have the same
requirements as enterprise network, and that's the quality level we should
strive.

In theory, a network filesystem make sense for us.  I think that the use
of AFS have shown that while network filesystems work, the added
maintenance burden is too high for us to afford.
