hey , @Allessandro : yes i didn't mention that because i thought it might lead to abvious rejection or less attention in the ML.
@Christian : my motivation for this idea was that it would add to the cloud identity(for owncloud to be specific) which as of now a storage and sharing application and a dedicated service like this would have been catchy. But as i find out it isn't getting an expected response never mind i'll try and come up with more ideas that aligns well with the goal of ownCloud. @Micheal : i didn't know that it would take so less time. btw i am poking around the code and documentation as hope to get back with another idea very soon. As of now my this idea is kind of dead... i don't mind it. @ALL : I have one more question i find coming up with totally new and original ideas is a bit difficult(not everyday you are lucky) so how can i start with ideas that are already in the ideas page. As they have students listed below them so i think its already assigned to a student. One idea needed a student i am curious about that. How can i start. ================================================================================================= Mobile app that syncs with ownCloud News app - *Description:* The News app is an atom/rss reader app that will be shipped with ownCloud 6. The app was developed as a GSoC 2012 project. The app now exposes an API, which can be used to synchronize external stand-alone readers with the app. API specification will be documented on time before GSoC starts. The project consists of designing, building and testing an rss feed reader for a mobile platform that uses this API and so synchronizes with the ownCloud News app. Platform suggested are Firefox OS ( http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/partners/#os) or Phonegap ( http://phonegap.com/). The student is strongly encouraged to discuss the platform and the details of the project with the mentors before submitting the project proposal. - *Mentors:* *Lead Mentor:* Alessandro Cosentino <cosenal at gmail dot com> *Alternative Mentor:* Bernhard Posselt <nukeawhale at gmail dot com> - *Contacts:* zimba12 and Raydiation on #owncloud-dev, Freenode - *Skills:* (depdending on the chosen platform) At least basic knowledge of: JS, CSS, HTML. Previous experience with programming for mobile platforms is recommended - *Student:* STUDENT NEEDED ================================================================================================== I have some experience developing webapps in python using django framework i am also familiar with firefox OS i also know HTML5. So i think i will have less problems working with firefox os which only uses web technologies... any suggestions on that please. ashish singh On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 3:13 PM, Alessandro Cosentino <[email protected]>wrote: > @Ashish: you forgot to mention that I had told you already that the > scale of the project you propose is not apt for GSoC. > > On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 9:13 AM, Christian Reiner > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Ashish, > > > > On Thursday 28 March 2013 05:33:30 Ashish Singh wrote: > >> [...] > >> My proposal for OwnCloud software is the integration of a webhost(static > >> pages) > >> [...] > > > > the idea of a simple "homepage app" has been brought up some month > before. > > I like that idea, since it does not require the user to install a some > > separate software or files and keeps things inside a single framework. > And > > from my point of view a personal presentation / personal homepage is > part of > > personal information management.
