About Openomy

     Openomy began as a side project by me, Ian Sefferman, during the 
summer of '05. The purpose of Openomy is to take advantage of new 
technologies and to try new things.

     Online file storage sites became a hit for a little while and then 
quickly disappeared. However, none of them really provided any value to 
the user. Once your file was uploaded, there was little you could do 
with it besides the standard downloading. With new movements and 
technology available, however, an online "file system" of sorts has a 
lot of potential. This is what Openomy evolved into.

     Openomy has open APIs that anyone can use to write applications 
which store/retrieve/use a user's files. This means you could, for 
example, write and use a script to mount your Openomy files onto your 
Linux (or other OS) machine. To learn more about the APIs, visit the API 
Documentation site.

     Another movement which Openomy takes advantage of is tagging. 
Instead of using folders to describe where files belong, Openomy uses 
tags. This allows you, the user, to hold one file in many locations. For 
example, the picture of your children on vacation shouldn't be 
constrained to just the "Mexico" folder or the "kids" folder. Rather, it 
should be allowed to be labeled as both.

     I'm also developing applications which take advantage of the 
movement towards better web apps. Maurice Codik has developed a simple, 
yet powerful RSS feed creator for any of your files on Openomy. Best of 
all, he open-sourced it to show off just how easy it is to write apps 
using the APIs.

     Lastly, pronunciation and etymology. Openomy is pronounced 
open-ooh-me. The name is derived from the fact that the core of Openomy 
is, well, open. Anyone can develop tools to use Openomy in new and 
creative ways. The ending is a merge of the suffix -nomy, meaning system 
of rules, laws, or knowledge about a particular field. One of the goals 
of Openomy is to be the most knowledgable about opening a system up for 
public use.
