It's 2012, and this project is still alive, although I haven't worked
on lipsync as much as I should. I do want to however, and have new
ideas to implement and try out in the next few months. The two way
sharing is a bit hacky, and I don't like it, the installer creates a
cronjob https://github.com/philcryer/lipsync/blob/master/install.sh#L155
that checks for server changes to sync back every minute - and it
tries to avoid conflicts by not running if a sync the other way is
happening https://github.com/philcryer/lipsync/blob/master/bin/lipsync#L9.
Yes, if you're using 2 computers at once it could get confused, but so
far, it's pretty good - but something I want to improve. I'm also very
interested in ownCloud http://owncloud.org/ and using remote storage
http://www.w3.org/community/unhosted/wiki/RemoteStorage auth protocol
like Unhosted http://unhosted.org/ proposes - these are two things I'd
love to integrate into lipsync over the next few months. I really
think having something that is all owned by the user, and in full
control of the user, is still the ultimate way. Watch the lipsync
http://lipsync.it/ site, and this list, for more details.

Part of my time is taken up preparing for a talk I'll be giving at
SEMAFOR, the tech conference in Warsaw late next month
http://konferencje.computerworld.pl/konferencje/semafor2012/prelegenci.html#p3101
If anyone is going to be there be sure to say hi, it'll be a
completely new crowd for me. I'll be focusing on user security and
privacy in the age of the social web, and writing the talk has been
difficult because new things are happening daily in this realm that I
want to cover!

I'm extremely happy to hear you're checking out OwnCloud, Phil. The project is progressing impressively quickly, and they already have a very functional web interface. The ambition is high, though—they already have a plugin for an in-browser music player, for instance—and I can imagine that will make progress on certain components slower.
Their homepage states that there's a new version dropping tomorrow, too, which I very much look forward to playing with. They don't have versioning for filesync in place yet, which of course Dropbox does, but it's already on the roadmap. I highly recommend trying to coordinate efforts here, because both projects stand to benefit immensely.

I have an infosec talk in a few weeks, then I'll be looking at this
closer. I bring up unhosted in my talk, as I think it's a great way
forward that would address much of the auth details.
