I will have a look at the owncloud online account, these all seemed to 
be for SaaS single URL things last time I played with it, so that points 
me in the right direction for having another poke about with 
authenticating scopes against Free Software content sources. Yay.

yes, but not just syncing of content, more a theme of generally working 
well together. It is something I have always wanted in Ubuntu. I would 
like it if on first boot of the phone or desktop it just said "where is 
my Ubuntu Server" and you give it the URL of your server and then 
everything works. User accounts sync, content syncs, emails work and 
your Asterisk PBX links with the SIP client on the phone. Kind of like 
Chromebooks do against google.com, but it would do it against your 
Ubuntu Server as the back end.
