why not add a feature that enables users to host their own personal cloud and share their music and even promote their band's or theirs own music?

My proposal:
Short description:
I propose a feature that allows user to share his playlist and also store it on the cloud as most of the xbmc users are running the app on phone or tablet devices it would be better if they get their own cloud.Some times there is a need for the files hosted on the cloud to be available locally. But, copying the files from the server and using it offline brings in the problem of having multiple copies of the same file (one online and one offline). In such a situation the user needs an application that can keep the local copy of files and the one on the cloud in sync.
How will I achieve this:
My design will have 3 parts
1) Front-end:C/C++ and the python APIs
2)Identify which file is to be synced:
When the first upload is done, the client uploads the whole file-system under version control to the server.
Subsequently when the client initiates a sync, the list of all files that have changed since the last sync is given to the server and those files are re uploaded
3)Transfering the file: It will be done using Pythons's webDAV client's API's or using xbmc JSON-RPC API and UPnP features
What will the project focus on:
Creating a iClould like feature for xbmc media player
Benefits:
With XBMC now running on mobile devices and tablets user will able to use the app on the go.
Goals:
To create an application that can keep the local copy of files and the one on the cloud in sync.
What does it touch in XBMC:
My proposal will just add another feature to xbmc.
Requirements:
C/C++ for the core parts, python,JSON-RPC API for transfering files and the sync policies
Possible mentors: Place to add possible mentors (Team-XBMC will add this).

which cloud storage will it use? Will there be different cloud backends possible (like iCould, dropbox, ...) or maybe even a private FTP server or alike?

google's cloud storage could be used...and no different cloud backends!
