Libferris everything is a filesystem, and vice versa

Mounting flickr, vimeo, youtube, google spreadsheets, postgresql as filesystems, and accessing fs as sqlite or xquery.

Libferris is a virtual filesystem that provides a filesystem and metadata (EA) interface to multiple data sources including Web sites. Recently libferris has gained more ways to expose itself including to XQuery, as SQLite virtual tables, RDF, virtual DOM, and FUSE.

The combination of Web as a filesystem and exposing the filesystem to many systems hopefully makes aspects of libferris interesting to various communities. This is an area that I would like to discuss at LCA with deveopers who are more expert on systems which could interact with libferris.

As such the talk would be a collection of interesting things that can be done with libferris, what it can mount, how to do that, and how to expose libferris to various things like XQuery and SQLite.
