I'm trying out the bulia-style announcement.

I applied a simple patch that allows us to use non-local URIs in addition to local paths via Gnome-VFS by using GTK file chooser on the Open, Save ___, and Export dialogs. This means you can use webdav shares, samba mounts, sftp/ssh shares, now...basically, any backend that gnome-vfs supports, we should be able to use. So, in effect, one could work on files from a bluetooth phone filesystem (if so inclined ;).

Woah! Great news!

I should add that this is hopefully going to enable some great things with Open Clip Art Library (clipart browser) and other sites, projects (OLPC/OpenMoko), to enable browsing of content, etc...
