  Description     : way to store, sync, share, model and back up content

 Camlistore is:
  * a way to store, sync, share, model and back up content
  * an acronym for "Content-Addressable Multi-Layer Indexed Storage",
    hinting that Camlistore is about:
    * content-addressable storage
    * separate interoperable parts (storage, sync, sharing, modeling),
      with well-defined protocols and roles
  * your "home directory for the web"
  * pro-JSON (yet aggressively format agnostic)
  * pro-OpenPGP (for signing claims)
  * pro-paranoia and privacy
  * programming language-agnostic (parts and different implementations in
    Go, Python, Java, Perl, Bash, ... the language doesn't matter.) What
    matters is well-defined, simple HTTP interfaces.
  * neither "Cloud" nor "Local". happily both.
