I am system/network guy ;-), I only use scripting language like 
bash/perl/python, never used java, and unfortunately no time actually to 
start learning it.
But, I could help for documentation, testing, and Debian packaging/hosting.

I think it could be *really good* for Syncany to become more popular in 
the opensource community, it could give a big boost in term of people 
supporting the project. As someone said, with all the features Syncany 
have/will have, the project is huge, the job need to be slitted in small 
pieces, the smaller they are the better it is.

OpenStack project is actually growing very very fast, this is "the open 
source cloud". A lot of people are actually testing it, using it, 
deploying it for public and private cloud, and thus looking for a good 
"cloud client" as Syncany seems to be. I am sure that, excepting for my 
personal needs, providing the compatibility to other object storage 
(which seems easy by your words ;-) will attract people.

Just my 2 cents.

Anyway, I will try to provide some packaging for .deb distro.
