Or exactly, what it does. The website talks of remotely hosted projects. Is it an aggegration tool for remotely hosted projects? Or does it host its own? What does it add to Git proper? Are you adding sync capability to something else (that already exists?). I don't really get the design goals and what it means. The website looks flashy btw, absolutely beautiful. What you'd expect from Gnome I guess...\r\n\r\nBut I don't get what SparkleShare IS, or how I could use it (to what end). The wiki doesn't answer these questions either.\r\n\r\nSo you're leaving a lot of confusion in the mind of the listener. I have no clue what it is for or how it really works. You do not really explain that. Maybe the design goals for the project were off and not well defined and now you don't know how to explain it? Could be it. I just don't know from reading the website, and I'm reasonably well versed in these idioms, I guess.\r\n\r\nRegards, Bart."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/hbons/SparkleShare/issues/comments/154362800","html_url":"https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare/issues/1644#issuecomment-154362800","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/hbons/SparkleShare/issues/1644","id":154362800,"user":{"login":"allan-simon","id":213167,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/213167?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/allan-simon","html_url":"https://github.com/allan-simon","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/allan-simon/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/allan-simon/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/allan-simon/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/allan-simon/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/allan-simon/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/allan-simon/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/allan-simon/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/allan-simon/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/allan-simon/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-11-06T09:40:23Z","updated_at":"2015-11-06T09:40:23Z","body":"Hello my two cents  on why it's not clear \r\n\r\n  * too much text, too small\r\n \r\nI think you should prefer explaining a simple use case  on how John from the sales departement can share the monthly report with Anna from the accounting (because I think that's the target, sync for non-techies ?) \r\n\r\n  1. John put his document in the folder X \r\n  2.  after some seconds Anna can see it in her folder X \r\n\r\nall of that with short text and a drawing and it will be clearer for my boss why I want us to have this in our network when i give him the link :) "}}
