Hi ichat,
Thankyou for such a swift response, although not the one I was expecting.
Im sorry If Ive upset you, it certainly wasnt my intention. Did you actually read my main post in feature request?
Im not sure how you feel it was an attempt to "irritate us into helping you" let me explain my thought process, and perhaps you will see my intentions were genuine.
1) I searched for OWNCLOUD on the forum - I could see a few mentions of it, but no reported successes.
2) I thought it would be a good feature, so I posted the request in the New Feature Request part of the forum. - If you read it, you will see I explain my request & its merits but also go on to acknowlege others work, and question if anyone else has actually had any success they can share with the community not yet posted about.
3) As there were already 3 partial posts on OWNCLOUD, I wanted to bring all those working on it already together. It could save lots of time, and it might have already been solved.
Perhaps it would have been better to PM them?
I thought the quickest way was to point them in the direction of my post and bring like minded people together.
Sorry I reallly do not think I have spammed anyone. SPAM to me would be posting links to my topic in many random irrelevant places.
What I did was "direct mail" targeted at 3 posts with OWNCLOUD mentioned in them. (for me this about OWNCLOUD not Apache) SO it was only posted in three additional topics - to the people I was looking for, who were already tinkering. Highlighting them to the feature request, bringing the few threads together, otherwise how would they know, until they physically looked? If you search for Apache thousands of posts come up, but search for OWNCLOUD and only 3 come up. And for me, this has begun not about Apache but about OWNCLOUD & Zentyal, forgive my ignorance here.
Im not a Zentyal Guru, so hence my asking questions, that to me at least, seemed the most relevant direct way. My ignorance is simply lack of knowlege/experience in this area.
By posting in feature request, was the start of me putting my "effort where my mouth is" Zentyal isnt plain old Ubuntu server, that is documented already. Hence my asking the community specifially about Zentyal & Owncloud combined. Since Zentyal has its own framework. I had already started my research, or I would not have known to post links in those three topics that already mention OWNCLOUD.
Im sorry if I have unknowingly broken any rules. If there is a better way to have gone about things, Im willling to listen.
I hope the above explains my thought process well enough you can see I wasnt trying to wind anyone up, just seek collate information in the quickest fashion.
Please know, I truly didnt think It would upset folk by highlighting others to my making OWNCLOUD a feature request of Zentyal. If people come back to me, I'll only be too happy to collate all the data with my own experience (which is currently little) and build it into a tutorial with screen shots for others to use.
