[Owncloud] idea : Notification system

[Florian Hülsmann]

I recently started implementing such a system trying to design it 
similar to the search app. Development is done in the user_notifications 
branch. Currently a mail symbol is displayed in the upper right corner 
with a random number, simply for testing the design. My plan was to let 
apps call this:

OC_Notify::sendUserNotification("files_sharing", "username", "{name} 
shared the file {filename} with you!", array("name" => "user2", 
"filename" => "document.txt"));

...and alternatively the function sendGroupNotification(). I didn't 
implement the OC_Notify class yet but already made a db table draft in 
db_structure.xml. One explanation: the placeholder stuff in my example 
above is necessary for making notifications translatable. The OC_Notify 
class can then simply translate the string including placeholders and 
then replace them with the given values, if any.

Let's hope to get this finished until OC 5 :)
