[Owncloud] ownCloud/openSUSE collaboration for GSoC 2013

Fri Mar 22 16:58:00 UTC 2013

Hi All,

I discussed my idea with Jan about taking forward the ownCloud core design
as a part of my summer of code project. I created a gist to tackle the
design : here is the link :
https://gist.github.com/raghunayyar/9b0dc508c365be86facc

He is ready to mentor it along with Bernhard Posselt (Raydiation) as
alternative mentor. The idea is up on the openSUSE GSoC page :
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_ideas#Forwarding_the_ownCloud_core_design

Since the work involves working on 3 aspects, namely, Files, Application
and User Management. I have split the work into Basic and Advanced
enhancements so that it becomes easy to manage for both me and the mentor /
co-mentor.

I have tried to mention all links in the "Design Forward" tag in my
proposal, any changes / additions and off course feedbacks are most welcome.

Some of the work has already been started in the
OC6_Fileactions<https://github.com/owncloud/core/tree/OC6_fileactions>branch
in the core.

Cheers!
