How about making this an add-on / plugin-in for diaspora and appleseed? I think this would be a better long term approach than building a new social network system on top of own-cloud. It could be tightly integrated in a variety of ways, and could also serve to promote awareness of own-cloud to what will presumably be the large number of people using those two FS applications. There are already applications that do social networking well. You could bring what owncloud's file hosting / sharing abilities to those applications instead of bringing their functionality to owncloud. Something like "if you have an owncloud server install this diaspora plugin and enter your webdab address to add filesharing capabilities to your profile". Just an idea, Sam. -- Sam Tuke British Team Coordinator Free Software Foundation Europe IM : [email protected] Contact the British team: [email protected]
