Some comments on specific ideas from the previous emails: - @Vincent: can you please add a description of your idea "API client library for the OC APIs" to the ideas page? thanks!
- @Jan: there are proprietary apps for BB10 that sync via webDAV already (PlayCloud is one of them). Maybe a better idea would be to create a more generic app with Apache Cordova/PhoneGap so that we can easily make it work on other platforms too. I don't know if it's feasible though, especially as a student project. More generic comments on my latest blog post: http://algorithmsforthekitchen.com/blog/?p=718 Cheers!
