I wonder how far you can push your model of replacing the org-file with a database. It looks like it would be easy to extend to something like a shared bibliography. How far could you push it for something like a shared set of documents, e.g. a shared notebook on a project? How feasible would it be to access tables or src blocks in these if they were in a database? or to build an agenda from entries in the database?
