Yesterday we covered what happened in core and apps<\/a> in part I of our ownCloud development in August. Today, we will highlight some cool, upcoming projects and give you a taste of the activities in the ownCloud app store and on our mailing lists.<\/p>\n

Upcoming awesome<\/h2>\n

Let’s start with sharing a few work-in-progress things which are worth looking at.<\/p>\n

First of all, check out the great work ockham is doing on the long standing issue of unifying tag handling<\/a> in ownCloud. Go review this pull request<\/a> and help bring tags to all of ownCloud! And what’s next, a generic way of commenting on objects in ownCloud? If you have ideas, make it happen<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The Google Summer of Code work on the Music app, which will bring in a much improved play list, is almost done and merging will hopefully happen soon<\/a>! You will barely recognize this great app after these massive improvements.<\/p>\n

August saw a new app begin development: ownCloud maps<\/a>. It is meant to become a Google or Bing Maps competitor, allowing you to find but also create and, in time, share location-based information. It is built on Leaflet<\/a>, using Open Street Map<\/a> data. While it only started recently, it has seen steady improvements, and you can contribute to and download the app for testing from github<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But Maps is not the only new app in github this month. At the ownCloud Contributor Conference<\/a> another new ownCloud App was announced: Mail. During the last two months a massive amount of work was done on this app and you can check out the current state and the swift progress on github.com\/owncloud\/mail<\/a>. Stay tuned for news on this app. Currently the team is working towards a 0.1 release and you\u2019re welcome to test it and report any issues or feature requests you may have. Once 0.1 is out, we’ll cover it!<\/p>\n
