It seems ownCloud is trying to be everything sync at a single time and not really performing upto the mark !

Though I understood it after visiting some pages, was really confused on visiting their front page as to what the product is about.

Skeptic about how successful they would be.

I was also thinking "what exactly is this?" when viewing the front page. Good work though guys on the 4.0 release!

They are releasing version 4. I'd assume some success on versions 1 through 3 or the project would have been abandoned.

I'm curious on how it performs with thousands of users. I'll probably run a few tests.

And brush up my PHP.

I was psyched about contributing to this awesome project so I immediately checked out the core. Then i saw it's written in php........... never mind :(

It is possible to write elegant PHP. All it takes is discipline.

Besides, being a PHP application, you may even be able to deploy it to shared hosting. Not bad.
