I know it, but Could we made a corba based server to store some
information and let it be used by several users?

My specific example:

At GNOME-DB we are developing a report server. It will be like a report
repository where you can share your reports. For example, you could made
a report with your company sales for the last month and save it at the
report server. Then your boss ask you for it, you only need to give him
an URI like report://SERVER_NAME/REPORT_NAME and, for example, from
Nautilus he could see it (It's only an idea that we are starting to code
now).

I don't know if we could do something like this without having oafd
multiuser and using ORBit.

The idea is to have a report server like you have a FTP server but, of
course, with a lot of report specific features and using CORBA instead
of our own TCP/IP protocol.
