[Owncloud] Mozilla sync integration project

[Michał Jaskurzyński]

Hi,

Another issue is that sync client change email to some kind of hash
and use it as a user name so it will be also need to create user table
to map this hash to owncloud user name.
There can be also troubles when user change owncloud user password.

So, I am waiting for discussion and ideas how to deal with user management.
