<div dir="ltr">hey , <div><br></div><div>@Allessandro : yes i didn't mention that because i thought it might lead to abvious rejection or less attention in the ML.</div><div><br></div><div style>@Christian : my motivation for this idea was that it would add to the cloud identity(for owncloud to be specific) which as of now a storage and sharing application and a dedicated service like this would have been catchy. But as i find out it isn't getting an expected response never mind i'll try and come up with more ideas that<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"> aligns well with the goal of ownCloud. </span></div>
<div style><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div style><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">@Micheal : i didn't know that it would take so less time. btw i am poking around the code and documentation as hope to get back with another idea very soon. As of now my this idea is kind of dead... i don't mind it.</span></div>
<div style><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div style><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">@ALL : I have one more question i find coming up with totally new and original ideas is a bit difficult(not everyday you are lucky) so how can i start with ideas that are already in the ideas page. As they have students listed below them so i think its already assigned to a student. One idea needed a student i am curious about that. How can i start.</span></div>

The News app is an atom/rss reader app that will be shipped with ownCloud 6. The app was developed as a GSoC 2012 project. The app now exposes an API, which can be used to synchronize external stand-alone readers with the app.</p>
