[Owncloud] quality control / user forums

[Bernhard Posselt]

Hi,

Yeah, youre right: no devs on the forum :)

I think the main problem was that we didnt have enough testers and we 
simply didnt run into many of those issues that came up.

Thats why we decided to provide nightlies and and prerelease candidates 
very visibly on our homepage and to get people to help testing things 
before the release happens. This is currently ongoing (hey Klaas whats 
the status on this ;) )

As for the media app: It isnt maintained and few people care about it, 
so dont expect it to be stable. We are looking for maintainers though.
As for the database schema upgrade issues: Will be fixed in the next 
release of owncloud. The current lib (mdb2) doesnt allow to fix this.
