[Owncloud] Re: Vision

[Cédric Venet]

Hi,

I just discovered OwnCloud a few day back and I am interested. One 
important point (for me) which is not evoked at all in your vision is 
the sharing part of the project. It seems that at the moment the sharing 
does not work (at least on the version/plateform I tried) but it was in 
the kde slides I have seen. Perhaps adding a few work on sharing would 
be good? (like
"""
It also provides a platform to easily sync your contacts, calendars
and bookmarks across all your devices, *share your files* and gives you 
basic editing features
right on the web
""")
I also wanted to ask what was the status of sharing features, if someone 
worked on it and if it would be easy for a good programmer without php 
experience to contribute to this part of the project. Personnaly I only 
need to share file/directory readwrite/readonly with selected user/everyone.
Lastly, do you know a free hosting site on which I can install owncloud? 
I am trying on mine, but some severe limitation (like no 
set_include_path) of the host require that I make change to the code and 
it is taking time.

Regards,
Cédric
