No, (I) didn't.  But at the moment I saw your mail... 
Thanks for bringing this up.

I've seen a few (impressive) demos on that but I had no time to take a closer look on it.

A few questions that come into mind - maybe you have a few answers to them?

How mature is CDO?
Would it scale for potentially millions of users?
How much network traffic does it cause to synchronize a local repository with a remote one?
Does it allow to persist data locally?

I can imagine that this could work out well in a in-house scenario where everyone can interactively change/update snippets. It would actually be pretty cool I think. But I've concerns basing the implementation of Snipmatch on top of CDO - because I'm not an expert in this area.

Cheng, Sascha,
how about encapsulating the storage backend to enable later exchange?

Sascha,
are you seeking for spare-time hobby to train your CDO knowledge?

[CDO/EMf based in-house template stores... I like that idea...]
