I’d advise against creating yet another, even more complicated syntax and instead just going with a standard which is also used by other decentralized software. As we discussed at LinuxTag, the user address (user@host) will not be that relevant anymore when we add real names and email addresses to the search. Similar to autocomplete in the email client, where you don’t put in each email by hand. Just check it on Diaspora – once a user from another instance is cached at your instance, it’s no problem to search by name. And yes, we should include an »ownCloud profile« where you can put in your name and profile image, it’s also good for sharing, to display the images of other people so you can quickly see who you shared with. _______________________________________________ Owncloud mailing list Owncloud@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/owncloud
