[Discuss] Anyone tried Sparkleshare.org yet?

I have to add that I was looking at it is a solution as well (and a move
away from dropbox) and only with a handful of users. While it works "for
me" it's not there for other, even technically talented, users. We were
using the mac front-end 0.2 package and a linux server with git as the
backend. As mentioned, the fact that ~/Sparkleshare isn't the replicated
folder but is the container for sync'ed folders was only the first line
of confusion.

One another list it was pointed out that this is a "reboot/complete
rewrite" of the old Novell "ifolder" product. Has anyone had success
with that product? It too is open source: http://ifolder.com but it is
built on Mono at this point, just a warning for those who dislike .NET.
