[Owncloud] Kde-soc 2012

[viraj sinha]

I agree with michael's idea and it would be great to have inter instance
collaboration along with other extensions to OCS API . Would love to build
use cases for the whole project with Bartek and Frank. Just some date
problems because I have my lab exams now and end semesters from May 7 but I
will be free from May 25.
So what is your take on this?
