the idea of a simple "homepage app" has been brought up some month before. 
I like that idea, since it does not require the user to install a some 
separate software or files and keeps things inside a single framework. And 
from my point of view a personal presentation / personal homepage is part of 
personal information management. Which is why I think it does fit in. 

However I wonder why you want to restrict the features to static pages only? 
I'd suggest to take a look around for some very basic and easy to use simple 
cms engine that can be integrated into ownCloud as an app. Sounds much more 
convenient to use to me for ordinary users compared to having to write static 
html pages by hand and upload them. I am sure there is some simple engine 
available with a matching license. 

What do you think?
