My goal is that every ownCloud user can install, update and delete every app independently from the used ownCloud core. Every app developer should be able to release a new app at every point in time and also update it independently from the core. The apps should run on different core versions if possible.

Hello everyone! This is my first post here after following this project 
for a while and having (had) similar plans for a web-based central sync 
service for personal use.

@modularization: I find this quite important! Being a Synology Disk 
Station user for some time I noticed that they want to break their 
web-frontenddown into a core and modular applications too...wow...of 
course this are not the big news but I thought it might be helpful as 
another source of input to see what other (commercial) projects plan. If 
OC makes this step I think it's quite important to define what is in 
core and what is an "app".
