Whoops, sorry for the late reply! :) We talk so much on IRC that I forget
the other channels.
So yeah, to everyone else: Raghu has contributed tons to ownCloud design in
the past and it’s really cool to work with him. I think the proposal is
great especially because it will improve the general quality of the
ownCloud core.
Please let us know if you have any feedback! :)
