   Anyone know a good !Free Software solution for multi-user peer-to-peer folder synchronisation that is platform independent & user friendly?

     @hugoroy Thanks. This indeed looks much like what I was looking for. But why oh why are all these applications in Java?

     @greve - Java is platform independent. And file operations are feectively the only thing you need. Why bother with problems? ;-_

     @jwildeboer @hugoroy pointed me to http://jakeapp.com which seems interesting, because it uses XMPP for synchronisation.

     @jwildeboer In my experience Java is typically slow, fat & badly integrated into the UI. But you are right it does this equally everywhere.
