[Owncloud] JS degration and use custom themes

[Bernhard Posselt]

Yes, its your typical jQuery project. JavaScript is not the problem, the 
problem is like you said the often missing seperation between view and 
logic and that makes it at least for me incredibly hard to understand 
the code.

The solution is to use a proper JS framework like AngularJS 
http://angularjs.org/ but this has been introduced very recently to 
people. Also we have too less time for too many bugs, so people dont 
really have the time to rewrite stuff.

Everyone who wants to improve the code/fix bugs is welcome though. Just 
contact the people on the IRC/mailinglist if you need help.

PS: Disabling JS is not an option.
