I don’t know if it fits the scope of the proposal, but I think it’s<br>
important because we need to get inter-ownCloud sharing right. I<br>
highly disagree with this part: »Only admins can create sharing<br>
between two clouds. (This was decided after discussions with the<br>
mentor).« (– who is the mentor, I can’t find any info in the<br>
proposal).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Bartek (aqu on freenode) and I discussed on this and he said giving so much power to a user wouldn't be a good idea. Unfortunately, Bartek didn't get selected as a mentor for this project. Right now Robin Appelman (Icewind) is my mentor.</div>

Inter-sharing should, at least from the user perspective outside a<br>
company setting, _not_ be the choice of the admin. Like with Diaspora<br>
and Email, you should just be able to put in <a href="mailto:frank@franksowncloud.org">frank@franksowncloud.org</a><br>
– then he gets a notification, and can either accept or reject the<br>
shared file.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That was the exact original idea I had proposed.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Then in your personal settings you could set your real name and photo<br>
for instance, so other people can find you easier (only if you want,<br>
of course, default is private). Then if Frank, who is on a different<br>
instance than me, already shares with someone on my ownCloud, his data<br>
will be cached on my ownCloud and when I type in »Fra…« I will get<br>
Frank suggested, and because he set his photo, I can even verify it’s<br>
him (of course it will also show the Webfinger user address so I can<br>
verify it without photo and without name).<br>
<br>
All this, the photos, names and use of Webfinger will prepare ownCloud<br>
for being more webby, lay the foundation for more collaborative and<br>
social aspects and make federation easier. Otherwise the users are at<br>
the admins mercy even more. – yes I know, the plan is for everyone to<br>
have their own ownCloud, but it’s not going to happen like a snap –<br>
there will first be providers, and they should not be the only ones to<br>
choose if communication is possible. Of course there should be an<br>
option to deactivate it (by it being an app) but this would mainly be<br>
relevant in a company setting, not a public instance or provider.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Maybe we can have both the options, although that would go beyond the scope of GSoC. So after GSoC I can continue to work on extending it to include user sharing as well.</div>

Also, are you in our IRC channel already – #owncloud-dev on freenode?<br>
That way we can talk and get to know each other much better.<br>
