I believe something like this could be a attribute for a user in the PERSON 
module.

What metadata are you missing from WebDAV?

Sharing for both local and remote instance to instance sharing, which Deepak 
is working on.

I believe contacts, calendar, tasks are covered by the DAV protocol and media 
is covered by Ampache. I'm not sure if these need anything else.

Alessandro will need a way to sync feeds for the news app. I believe he 
already has a plan for what he needs the API to do.

Bookmarks could also benefit from a way to sync.

The gallery app could manage albums and photos from the API.
