Comment(by isis):

 Right. The only thing left for this deliverable now is to finish the
 design of the Backend, which we hadn't entirely agreed upon. During our
 meeting in Firenze, the following concerns were raised:

     * HTTP is not secure, and the wiki page does not make it clear that
 'HTTP' here refers
       to the protocol, which will, of course, offer SSL as a security
 mechanism.
     * HTTP is 'dirty', ie, is it not efficient, it's compression is not
 the greatest, it does
       not support deltas or diffs, and it is generally not what one uses
 to move files around
       from one computer to another.
     * Should we instead use rsync (or duplicati or some other variant) and
 only use HTTPS/O as
       as a fallback? Rsync seems to solve pretty much all the problems
 we've considered,
       including resume support, verifiability, security, efficiency,
 compression, and
       portability.

 ioerror, hellais: Can we find time soon to discuss this soon, either here,
 email, or IRC, so that we can resolve this and be finished?
