Thankyou so much for sharing your work. Finding this post was like finding something I didn't know I was looking for.

Have you considered monetizing this in some way? As a person of limited technical skills, I would definitely pay for a set of tools that would help me aggregate my data.

Monetizing.. not really. Many reasons:

- I don't really see a good way (not that I'm entrepreneurial in this aspect though), maybe except for providing some infrastructure etc

- dealing with others' data is a completely different kind of headache with legal and security responsibilities

- I don't really have a product or anything -- more of a vision which I want to communicate, a bunch of patterns, techniques and repositories. Maybe know some esoteric gotchas.

- It's a very niche thing to think about and 'want' in the first place (although I am trying to change it through my communication :) ). Most 'regular' people don't do backups, let alone this!

But it would be very cool if someone comes up with a business model to provide such service.
