[Owncloud] idea : Notification system

[Florian Hülsmann]

My idea is to use existing OC libs and provide hooks for notifications. Using these hooks we could send the notifications via email, xmpp etc. or let 3rd party apps extend the functionalities, e.g. with SMS notification!

I was just wondering if the "search" folder will stay in the ownCloud root directory and if it's a good idea to have the notify stuff organized the same way (see user_notifications branch)...

What's your idea to implement the push from the server to clients?

At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_technology are some ideas, yet I 
have no experience which one suits us best.

We probably
- want run over HTTP
- can have a lot of connections per server if we have a lot of users
- not so many connections per user
- do not neccessarily need message queuing if the client is off.

One idea that would be a big solution is to use XMPP via (some kind of) 
push, Apple seems to do that for their cloud notifications. That would 
be a standard which other clients (ie. desktop notification systems) 
could also make advantage of.

Ideas?
