  I expect to release an FUSE interface to Twisted Storage which will make it look and act like a normal file system. In addition to the normal open/close/read, it will provide write caching and with control calls support the many extensions of the system.
  
  I will also be adding new interfaces to the system in addition to supporting SOAP and XML-RPC. I will allow native SMTP support (it will act just like a normal SMTP interface with messages being processed and deposited in the store under the right tenant). I expect to add in a native Bit Torrent, FTP and WebDav interfaces (allowing files to put put into or retrieved from the repository).
