[Owncloud] Gsoc proposal

[Florian Hülsmann]

Hello Viraj,

I'm deeply interested in your project :D

Wouldn't it be possible to split it into a backend (the collaboration 
part) and a frontend (text editor), so other apps can also use the 
backend? I think of collaborative drawing with my SVG editor app (see 
http://ocsvg.cbix.de) and other cool stuff (real-time multiplayer games 
etc.)!

Thanks, I wish you the very best for it!

Florian
