I had names it owncloud initially, but removed it, for two reasons:

- ownCloud is kind of jargon
- the ownCloud trademark is owned by a company, it's unclear if we run the 
  risk of trademark violation

I hope one day file synching will have an API independent from a specific 
service, so you have, for example, plugins for dropbox, owncloud, kolab's file 
storage, google drive, etc.

git at github.com:sebasje/mirall.git has the sources in the plasmaclient branch, 
under src/plasma/*

It's split up into a small lib, a daemon (which does the synching and is 
controlled via dbus) the Plasmoid,, the Active settings module and a KCM 
(which doesn't work well yet).

Let me know if you have questions.
