Next to current synching mechanisms or replacing those, it would be nice to have the possibility to synch over gvfs - especially considering that the gvfs interface for remote filesystem access is way easier to configure (c.f. ports, etc)

It should really just replace the current mechanisms.

Confirming, but not sure when we'll get to it.  Patches welcome, of course.  It's largely a matter of making a gvfs-alike of FuseSyncServiceAddin, I suppose.

So few people have the infrastructure to support the ssh/webdav use cases that they're really not that great an option anyway.  Since Online Desktop never really materialized, we are probably going to resort to running our own web service to make sync useful to the largest number of users.  I'll be focusing on this before I spend time on gvfs support.

But yeah, this is a move we've been wanting to make for awhile, and I think the Mono bindings have now caught up so there's nothing to hold us (or an industrious contributor) back.
