I've been kicking around ideas for this for a while, and finally wrote them down. Essentially, it's a plan for us to get some of the benefits of Mentat without all of the troubles required to implement Mentat. In particular, it gets us ease of implementing new data types, some degree of schema evolution, and inter-record references (with some limitations).
My big fear would be that without something like this, teams will turn to off the shelf sync solutions that don't offer the same crypto/privacy/etc protection that they would with Sync (E.g. things like firebase, etc). It also has a more limited scope (no support for history, no support for record types with constraints as complex as bookmarks). I wrote it as a github gist so that I could embed code with comments and have it syntax hightlighted, although I realize in retrospect that a google doc would allow for more flexibility with commenting and etc. https://gist.github.com/thomcc/d45cebb959a005bb915a1b34cd4fe215 Anyway, thanks, - Thom Chiovoloni
