Very cool.

I wrote up a spec very similar to this (though I just used the hash itself for the folders, as in HA/HAS/HASH structure [there's probably a name for that scheme]), but haven't gotten around to implementing it. My main problem with actually implementing such a system is that I don't really like depending on Django or web-based interfaces; I'm a huge fan of files, and UNIX-style tools that operate on them, I just don't like the hierarchical filesystem. I've considered that a FUSE frontend to such a system would probably address most of my concerns, but at that point it's still a big huge abstraction layer that I start to feel uncomfortable for nebulous reasons aside.

But, very nice. It's nice to hear that I'm not the only person driven to such extremes. :)
