[Owncloud] Gsoc proposal

[Michael Grosser]

For realtime editing you could just use libredocs.org (hosted node.js
backend with some nice and developing capabilites) and use your owncloud
storage as storage backend.
Your data, minimal setup, great realtime editing etherpad style.
As was already said, don't reinvent the wheel.

As for the Realtime backend. That's not the goal.
Owncloud should be the storage backend. The realtime communication should
be separated from the storage.
But you can take a closer look at remoteStorage.org for that.
