Part of it, you could do it right now. Setting F-Spot to use an NFS
share to store photos, would already be possible.

The problem would be syncronizing the database of the different clients,
without concurrent editing and so on.

To make this possible, I think that the whole db abstraction layer
should be rewritten, but I can't say to be an expert of the F-Spot
code...
