I think, PA4 is not in a state , where we can handle it that strict. There is 
at least one important app, that thinks in folders: owncloud. owncloud wants 
to sync folders!  It makes no sense, to sync the complete mer folder to 
owncloud. I sync the *folders* muisic, documents, pictures ... and all the 
folders, i have on my laptop and want to sync to the tablet via owncloud.

There is probably no easy  way to solve it . Maybe there could be a tag "sync 
to owncloud" which in combination with other tags syncs to folders on owncloud 
without creating folders in PA4. As I wrote, no easy way to get rid of foldes 
in PA4. Obviously files looks into folders an presents the conted in another 
way.

With bodega, one has to find a solution which works with the web-interface on 
every system, which can use it. OnlyAddOn can go another way.

I would like to know, when the PA5 development starts and if it is more than 
just porting to KDE5 Framework. PA has to go a long way, until it is mostly 
task-centered. What can be the next steps in this direction, what is offer as 
long as there is no tasked-centered solution?
