yes, definitely we want this. As we have talked many times, we need to
sit down and come up with a good plan for file sharing, since the
current PWS is just a temporary solution. It would be nice to have it
work like Apple's, although for that we'd need either:
* apache, ftpd, etc to create a directory where users can put links to
their shared directories
* give users the ability to configure the servers, via GNOME System
Tools probably.

oh, you mean to have all in the same module? It sounds ok to me,
provided we come first with that plan for file sharing :-) But yes, we
can have gnome-sharing CVS module containing the file and desktop
sharing tools.
