Hi,<div class="im"><br>

You can check out my GSoC proposal at<br>
<a href="http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/dpacmittal/18002" target="_blank">http://www.google-melange.com/<u></u>gsoc/proposal/review/google/<u></u>gsoc2012/dpacmittal/18002</a>.<br>
This is basically how I'm implementing it although few things might change<br>
during actual implementation.<br>

Great proposal from a users perspective. Here are some random thoughts:<br>
<br>
- The request_file and request_file_index request: These functions provide a very similar functionality than the WebDAV module which is already there: With WebDAV you can obviously download files and get directory listings, however for the sharing a filter on the file listing would be needed (ie. which files are to share). Maybe we can combine that and not duplicate?<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yep, Robin told me I could use WebDAV interface for this functionality.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
- it might be cool to enhance the idea of what a user is in ownCloud in general. Currently a user is just "frank", maybe we should enhance that to "frank@domain". That would make a lot more possible.<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, that's the idea. It was in my mockups album. <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/vuvy62LL6e2zLvueGiDkT9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink">https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/vuvy62LL6e2zLvueGiDkT9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink</a></div>
<div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
- A very special usecase of sharing is the "sharing with myself". Given that I can proof that frank@domainA and frank@domainB are both under my control the complete data can be shared between the ownClouds which in turn makes moving quite easy.<br>
<br>
- I think the request_user_index is not a good idea. Systems like ownCloud should not distribute their user lists, and (already hearing Jan objecting ;-) obviously not by default. I think you should know the user you want to share with.<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>User-index is only required for a drop-down list in which user can search/select user to share files with. I will put an option to disable sharing of user-index, after which user has to manually type the name is sharing box.</div>
<div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
The API can be very useful for the client as well which we also were already talking about.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Sorry, I'm confused. Do I go ahead with my original proposal, or do I start again with a REST API? Can someone guide me on what to do? It'd be awesome if we could talk this over IRC or have an IRC meeting about this.</div>
