[Owncloud] [gsoc12] project proposition

[Bartek Przybylski]

Hi!
I wanted to propose project for upcomig Google Summer of Code.

Project: synchronization backend for ownCloud
Goal: Provide extendable API and couple of backends to external
storage (dropbox, simple scp etc) and services (google contacts, etc)
Detailed description:

Goal of this project will be to provide two-way synchronization
between OC and chosen backend,
ownCloud apps should not be aware of synchronization process and see
synchronized files.
Specific apps (contacts, gallery, etc) shouldnt directyl call
synchronization event, it should be done via
Hooks mechanism and preferably asynchronous.
This task might also require to add more general hooks or change
current mechanism, but might be solved via adjusting backends for
specialized app.

Proposed mentor: myself ;)

what do you all think ?
