Hi All,

I've owned a Chromebook for two weeks now (the Samsung ARM model) and I'm thoroughly impressed with the machine as a replacement for my ageing Asus eee 901. Nice format, weight, k/b and screen (for 1/4 the price of a Macbook Air), very responsive web browsing . However, I am suffering a strong allergic reaction to being borged by Google.

I'd like it to be an "OwnBook", depending not on Google but on my Owncloud.

The 16GB internal SSD is a known and accepted limitation, it is what it is. Biggest frustration is the lack of support for file sharing, no nfs, atalk or webdav support. My Chromebook is alone in a sea of data (unless, of course, you push the files up to Google Drive).

The Chrome Web Store has apps for various "cloudy" file sync/share services, has anyone contemplated a webdav app for OC?

Ideally, I would like to mount a WebDAV share to appear in the File Manager alongside Google Drive and the SD card.

A quick search (on Google, of course!) found two sample projects (links below), one is an implementation of the dropbox.js API inside Chrome and the other is a WebDAV API in js. It looks like I have hit my current limit for developing the idea asjava_script is a foreign country to me.

Is anyone currently looking at this or a similar concept?
Can anyone recommend a js primer for a sysadmin who hacks at php?

regards,

Drew
