Sharing of folders inside the Apps/ folder

I have an application (madoko.net) where users rely on shared folders in dropbox to cooperate.
However, I now need to give the application access to a users' entire dropbox and I would like to make it a restricted application under Apps/Madoko. Unfortunately, currently users are unable to share folders inside the Apps subfolder.
Since the introduction of the recent sharing API I was hoping to see dropbox supporting this too. Is this feature still planned??

Thanks!,

    I'd also like to request this, I have an app folder where most of my client information is stored. I'd like to share that folder with my assistant.

    +1 - My app folder contains all of our customer quotations and information (BaseCRM).  The rest of the team cannot access those quotes unless they are duplicated (which is bad version control and defeats the point).  Some form of sharing other than copied links is essential.

    Definitely need to be able to share app folders.  I can't have this account along with my personal account on my desktop so must log in via the web and copy files into a second folder that I can share.  I will need to do  this several times a week.  Either let me have two (non-business) Dropbox accounts on my desktop or, preferably, let me share app folders.
