[Owncloud] tasks for Google Code-in needed

[Jan-Christoph Borchardt]

Here are six tasks for the Code-in. We discussed them at the developer
sprint in Zurich but unfortunately I didn’t know we need to assign mentors
to each. So please have a look at them and step up as a mentor if you
like. I can only mentor one task.

After finding a mentor for every task we can forward this to Lydia. You
are also welcome to suggest tasks you mentor.
