In short apps add a new aspect to owncloud and plugins add small new features<br>
to existing aspects.<br>
<br>
What does this mean? An address book would be a new app. The ownCloud core<br>
only handles files and an address book would be a new aspect. Same with a<br>
gallery. In the core of ownCloud you can easily upload your photos, but we do<br>
not have the ambition to create pretty albums you can share with your family<br>
and friends. An "gallery" app however could do this, using the existing files.<br>
A plugin could add a function to the addressbook, like asking the contact to<br>
fill out its vcard. A plugin for the gallery could add aditional transitions or<br>
a possibility to add background music to the slideshow or whatever.<br>
<br>
Both apps and plugins integrate nicely into ownCloud, using the existing<br>
possibilities and the typical ownCloud layout.<br>
<br>
I hope you get the point.<br>
Cheers,<br></blockquote><div><br>Hi Jacob, Nice explanation :) i understand the difference now.<br>But just to reiterate, if an author is writing a plugin which adds in a lot of features that ownCloud base<br>doesn't provide (or inherently doesn't provide) then the plugin should be designed to be an app.<br>
<br>Is that correct ?<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
