Hi,


You can check out my GSoC proposal at
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/dpacmittal/18002.
This is basically how I'm implementing it although few things might change
during actual implementation.

Great proposal from a users perspective. Here are some random thoughts:

- The request_file and request_file_index request: These functions provide a very similar functionality than the WebDAV module which is already there: With WebDAV you can obviously download files and get directory listings, however for the sharing a filter on the file listing would be needed (ie. which files are to share). Maybe we can combine that and not duplicate?

- it might be cool to enhance the idea of what a user is in ownCloud in general. Currently a user is just "frank", maybe we should enhance that to "frank@domain". That would make a lot more possible.

- A very special usecase of sharing is the "sharing with myself". Given that I can proof that frank@domainA and frank@domainB are both under my control the complete data can be shared between the ownClouds which in turn makes moving quite easy.

- I think the request_user_index is not a good idea. Systems like ownCloud should not distribute their user lists, and (already hearing Jan objecting ;-) obviously not by default. I think you should know the user you want to share with.

The API can be very useful for the client as well which we also were already talking about.

Thanks,

Klaas
