[Owncloud] Re: Idea for GSoC 2013 Webhost in the cloud static pages

[Michael Gapczynski]

This would actually only take 10 minutes to do with the current implementation of shared links. So, not exactly worthy of a GSoC project and I don't believe it aligns well with the goal of ownCloud. A user of ownCloud should have no problem hosting their own static website if they are hosting ownCloud on their own server.
 
Keep thinking of ideas.
