I think it would be a great idea that everybody could share more files with his friends than his space would allow.
This could work this way: Every user could have an "offers"-folder in wich he stuffs all the files he wants to share with certain persons or groups.
Then only the filenames and hashes are saved, not the files themselves.
If files the user offers already exist in the wuala network, they could be "linked" to the file without being substracted from the users space contingent.
The more important idea is that people could "download" the file offers this way:
A friend clicks on the offered file, then the file is automatically uploaded by the user who offers the file and stored in the wuala network as soon as he or she signs on in the wuala network.
