[plug] Syncing live Data

[Tim]

2 Way sync is always hard.
What if data is changed at both sites while waiting for the sync? If
it's a one way sync, then rsync is your friend.
If it's 2 way, then something like unison or a dropbox like product
makes sense. Sparkleshare is one example of a dropbox like product
that you can run you own server for, and it works well for things like
source code.

Any more details on the sync? 1 one. 2 way. Is it possible that a 2
way can be turned into a 1 way? (Read only on one site?) What types of
files. And what are the chances of a file being modified on both sides
at the same time? Maybe a 2 way with priority (then it can become 2
rsyncs, with one side's changes always overwriting the other if it's
changed on both sides).
