+Filer Roadmap:
+
+ * ~~Support Brackets, and other applications~~
+ * Support for DropBox and other clouds
+ * Shared cross-domain storage and API
+   * DropBox clone that isn't in the cloud
+   * Proxy API for postMessage into an iframe
+   * JavaScript lib that you include which handles proxy communication
+     * HTML page that can be put in an iframe to give a common domain (filer.io)
+     * `<script src="https://filer.io/filesystem.js">` that 3rd parties can use to have a shared filesystem
+   * HTTPS on filer.io
+   * ex:  https://github.com/js-platform/filer.io
+   * Permission model for sharing a file system, and capabilities, and the UI/UX for this
+   * UI
+     * Resources/People - davida/labs/webmaker/cdot intern?
+     * dialog that lets you manage your file system
+     * file browser
+     * dialogs (popup, iframe) when run in an iframe
+     * Mobile UX
+     * Capability requests to be able to do certain operations from a 3rd party page
+ * Syncing FileSystems
+     * use WebRTC. You connect various browsers/node instances
+     * when filer.io is available in the current page, it would sync for you
+     * Per-file sync metadata, so you don't kill bandwidth on mobile
+       * "Sync all my documents but only the metadata for my music"
+       * control over where data/metadata should be stored
+         * high-availability? redundancy?
+       * explore RAID
+ * FS-enabled Widgets or other sharable libraries
+   * A widget (e.g., a text editor widget) lives in widget.js
+   * The widget.js file includes filer-iframe-proxy.js, which makes it possible to access the/a shared filesystem, attaching it to the widget
+   * Any app that uses the widget also gets you access to the files that are created with it, in any app.
+ * Bookmarket for injecting filer-iframe-proxy.js so that you can work with a shared fs in the current page.
+ * Filer.io File System Bridges
+   * DropBox
+   * S3
+   * GoogleDrive
+   * Native File System
+   * Filer.FileSystem
+ * Node instances of Filer, where they can participate in sync or otherwise work like browser storage
+   * leveldb, redis, etc. providers
+   * XHR provider from browser to server
+     * would need transactions and explicit commit/abort for this to work
+ * Offline AppCache Replacement
+   * ~~storing scripts in file system~~
+   * build a web server to allow viewing sotred html/css/js?
+   * https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=898524
+   * Install an app in Filer, and then update an app using git pull (js-git), or use Bower to allow you to install direct into Filer
+   * CDN for shared resources in Filer?
+ * Explore Mulit-User filesystems and how to deal with more than one person using a browser
+ * Adapters
+   * FileSystem flags to format a FS with specific adapters/providers
+   * Metadata stored about the filesystem for which adapters and order to use
+ * Refactor core Filer API so we can do different frontends
+   * node.js fs module (we have this now)
+   * WebKit FileSystemAPI
+ * Sharing End-Points via WebRTC
+   * URLs to files in Filer (https://filer.io/asdlk234sf)
+   * Propsal - service where filer.io hosts a node.js based Filer instance for you for async, high availablity (thin node.js or even Browser REST layer over S3)
+   * Use Persona?
+ * ~~Filer Shell~~
+   * Need to figure out capabilities for being able to control
+ * Killer demo
+   * Reaching out to people we know who have apps/demos/ that we could support with a fs
+   * Save/Load feature for pdf.js
+     * When you open a pdf, you can save it into Filer
+     * PDF.js can then show you all the PDFs you've saved in Filer in the past
+   * ~~Brackets made into a more complete demo~~
+   * Cloud9 with Filer file system
+   * ymacs with Filer file system
+   * Could reach out to http://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/blog/
