The goal, by the way, is to keep in common areas the stuff that
needs to be shared and in private areas that stuff that's not
shared. That way when a user goes away we can delete the
username and all the private storage (or archive it) and
not have to worry that we're going to break something that
other people need.
With that in mind we can also create other schemas, for particular
projects or groups of people, to keep things organized.
