I’ve been thinking about which apps we have and which we still need to
be useful to many people. For that I checked what iOS/iCloud, Google
Apps, Android and Firefox OS ship by default. (If you’re interested in
the comparison list I threw together, it’s at
http://www.ethercalc.org/owncloud-apps )

Here’s the apps we already have or have started:

* Files + viewers & sharing
* Calendar
* Contacts
* Pictures
* Music
* Bookmarks
* News
* Tasks


What’s missing:

* Mail. It’s in development at
https://github.com/owncloud/apps/tree/master/mail, join in if you
like!
* Notes: spec at https://github.com/owncloud/apps/issues/120
* Maps: spec at https://github.com/owncloud/apps/issues/121
* Communication: spec at https://github.com/owncloud/apps/issues/122
* proper word processor: spec at https://github.com/owncloud/apps/issues/125
* proper spreadsheet editor: spec at https://github.com/owncloud/apps/issues/126
* proper slide editor: in development at
https://github.com/owncloud/apps/tree/master/impressionist

And then for us to dogfood more:

* simple code editor: spec at https://github.com/owncloud/apps/issues/123
* simple IRC client: spec at https://github.com/owncloud/apps/issues/124



Just to have a bit of an overview and to know what we should probably
focus on. Let me know if I missed anything, participate in the spec
issues, and please join development!
