A shared file & object store for Beaker.

Requirements:

Applications need to share files & data with each other. For instance, you want to be able to share your contact list between apps. (Think about the ways that phones share data - it's the same story here.)
Userdata needs to persist outside of a given application. If I decide to stop using ContactsPro2000 then I still want UberFriends to have my contact list.
Ideally, users won't be interacting with files. We may still need that, but file-managers never make anybody smile. This isn't a hard requirement. If nothing else makes sense, we'll use a file manager.
Applications need to not clobber or corrupt each others' data. They need to work together.
We need some shared semantics, to handle interop. Solid, IPLD?
For that matter, I dont think it quite works to just have a bunch of files sitting around. We need smarter queries, like, "give me all the user's contacts." So, we need metadata

beaker ipfs/dat apps

what I think would be cool: an ipfs/dat site with an index.html that looks like this:

<!doctype html>
<script src="ipfs://mypfs.com/[email protected]"></script>
<script>exploreArchive('ipfs://pauls-public-files.com')</script>

decentralized tech & enterprise

I have a sneaking suspicion that decentralized tech will despecialize enterprise solutions, and so make enterprise software cheaper. (If a solution works for consumer and enterprise, why would enterprise pay more? they just fold into the consumer market)

Broadly, whats good for consumers, should be good for enterprises.

Enterprises have organizational requirements which they solve with dollars (IT staff, purchases).
Consumers dont have that money to spend, and no top-down org, so they depend on automated solutions.
If the requirements align between consumers and enterprises, then a consumer solution will be cheaper (and more convenient) than the enterprise solution.

	/**
	* Beaker applications that are loaded via dat:// or ipfs:// have a sandboxed `fs` available to them.
	* But, they also need a way to get outside the sandbox, eg to work on a spreadsheet in ~/Documents
	*
	* This is an API for both use-cases.
	* The application explicitly requests access outside of the sandbox.
	* Those requests result in file-explorer dialogs, to pick the folder or file.
	* The selection then stays in the app's perms until explicitly released, by the app or user.
