I´m biased here of course. ;-)

But I think we should create a new module for our API as part of the OCS standard. This has some benefits because OCS is already an accepted freedesktop.org standard and implemented by a lot of other software. It is designed in a modular way so that we can easily create a new "cloud" module for our stuff but we still benefit from the existing concepts like provider abstraction, authentication and others.

ownCloud is already an OCS client and an OCS server so it would be a logical step to follow this concept.
