It's not available.  I agree that it should be, except if somebody thinks
it's a privacy violation.

Yes.  That's something that's badly needed.

Depends if you want the file to flow through the server, or to go directly
peer-to-peer.  I'm planning to implement it as peer-to-peer, in which case
no changes to the server are needed — use the "userMessage" message to do
your signalling.

Please make sure you document your signalling protocol, so we can use the
same one.

I don't want this implemented in the server: have a second process that
does the administration.  Galène will pick up the changes made to the
on-disk JSON files after a few seconds.

Please clarify.
