Sounds like something already implemented in ubuntu one to me ;)
In a nutshell: people don't understand permissions and their
fallouts. It's simpler to have home directories and their content
private (or even encrypted) and define shares in a special place. I can
think of only two kinds of share to be honest:
- I have write access and nobody else,
- I and others have write access.
And even that is not that simple when you start wanting to access them
off-line.
This has been the case for decades and no OS I know of ever come close
to a flawless solutions until we started to use the cloud for sharing at
which point OSes and their incompatible permission schemes became
irrelevant.
