I am not sure how many of you are aware of this feature, but AOSP effectively implements multi user support for Android.
That's news to me -- they managed to hide it well. ;)
Just root your device / emulator, "pm create-user" "am switch-user" and you got yourself separate profiles.
So all that's missing is a UI for it?
Mods at XDA have a basic UI up and running for this multi-account feature of JB http://www.xda-developers.com/android/gui-for-managing-jelly-beans-unfinishe...
Definitely interesting for and Android based desktop replacement or even Android server.
How does it handle permissions, given Android creates users per application?
If so, I would be glad to further discuss it and this mailing list seems like a good place to do that,
Yes, we're definitely interested in doing things ahead of google's schedule ;)
