Now it has User files, ownCloud system files, ownCloud configuration. It should 
be extended to including vcard and ical for contacts and calendar.

But this  is a system wide export. It could be great to add per user exports 
from remote both for vcard and ical using that users credentials instead of 
the admin users.

Would you agree that OC_User::isLoggedIn() in user.php is the place to check 
for either http authentication or a token based authentication?
