[Owncloud] bookmark sync

[Jakob Sack]

Hi,

I proposed this to Priyanka as a GSoC project.
How could this work? Well, first we have the storage. This is simply an 
implementation of the server specs written down at [1]. Not very 
creative but it is easy to measure the success of the project.
The second part is the usage of the data. IMHO only the bookmarks are 
interesting. As Robin said, the data is encrypted, but if I'm not 
mistaken the encryption is using a symmetric-key algorithm and the key 
is known by the user! So we provide an option for the user saying "if 
you provide the key you could use the bookmarks in owncloud". I think 
that's fine for both people who just want to sync their data and for 
those who want to _use_ their data.
Regards,

Jakob
