Technically, you can mount it at the linux kernel level, at the gnome
IO libraries level, or from Sugar, with a pure python implmentation.

You don't have a lot of time it seems. I'd implement it on top of
gnome VFS of in pure Python. In both cases, I'd make it look like
another disk from the Journal (as an initial implementation at least).

I'd say talk with Martin Abente, he's looking into this problem space.
