To return to this (sorry, I've been really busy).  I made the apps
directory read/writable by www-data, but I still don't see how to
install apps from the interface.  However, more apps appear all the
time, for example this list is now much bigger than when I installed
owncloud.

Archive
Calendar
Contacts
Media
ODF Viewer
PDF Viewer
Pictures
Share Files
Text Editor
User Account Migration
Versions
ownCloud Instance Migration
Bookmarks
Encryption
External
External storage support
LDAP user and group backend
OpenID user backend
Tasks
Webfinger
ownCloud dependencies info
remoteStorage compatibility
Shorty3rd party
Storage Charts v2.23rd party
BrowserId user backend3rd party

But it doesn't have the app that I want.  Nor am I able to search and
install available apps.  Of course for the IMAP Auth app, I can just
unzip it as you said, but in the future I would like - if I understood
correctly - to browse and install apps from the interface.

thanks.
