This resource is definitely going in my book, and I will recommend it for my publisher Apress to use when distributing my .blend file examples and other starter assets. Thanks for this!

Once the renders are created, there is no problem. There is the possibility that the file could be very complex and slow the server down upon upload.

The main advantage here would be the potential ease in creating a web-based and visual repository of files. A user could collect a bunch of the files s/he is interested in using or studying and zip them up for download, categorize them in different ways to make them searchable by others, etc. There is also a 'staticsync' script that can sync the website up with a local folder structure; that could possibly be used for a kind of 'live' window into works in progress. In other words, it may or may not be useful in any particular case, but I've found many ways to modify this system for various workflows (outside of blender). Now that I'm getting into blender, I think there may be some potential in this area. Just hoping to share the idea and contribute something if I can to the blender community, which I'm very thankful for. marin, I agree a web program doesn't integrate 'tightly' and, actually, blend files have a bunch of cool asset management features of their own.

I hope anyone who tries it will give me feedback regarding any problems or potentials they find. Again there are some path issues I have to work out for linux and windows, but with a little feedback we can have it working. I'm willing to help polish this feature up for anyone who is seriously interested in trying to work with it. well, the ability to manage files is definitely built in, and rendering blender previews depends on blender being on the server.
