Hi Jacob, Nice explanation :) i understand the difference now. But just to reiterate, if an author is writing a plugin which adds in a lot of features that ownCloud base doesn't provide (or inherently doesn't provide) then the plugin should be designed to be an app. Is that correct ? > > Jakob > _______________________________________________ > Owncloud mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/owncloud > -- regards ------- Kunal Ghosh Dept of Computer Sc. & Engineering.
