[Owncloud] dev status and help offer

[Bart Visscher]

Hi Sven and Alessandro,

Have a look at the CalDAV and CardDAV standards. Owncloud has (almost) full support for these protocols. For Android there is a OSS app called acal, it works with CalDAV and for CardDAV is a branch. Maybe Akonadi can also use these protocols.

Greetings,
Bart
