OwnCloud is PHP, so normal HTTPS security isn't enough to the security conscious
admin. A VPN would be highly recommended to use it.

Some of the clients act funky too. I don't think it is ready for average users
yet.  A friend installed it over Xmas, thought it was great until the Android
client didn't work so well for him.  He's an android dev, with lots-o-devices
and a huge any-platform nerd.

I installed it over the summer (I think). It was unacceptably slow on my GigE
network - over 24 hrs to sync 1 music album from a Linux client. If I used the
web interface only, it was fast, but that isn't really the point for a solution
like this.  Think I wrote up the issues on my blog.  I had hoped to completely
cut the google cord (mainly contacts) with owncloud, but every time I pushed a
full contact entry to the server, it dropped anything it deemed as excess info
... you know - 2nd email addr, or 2nd phone numbrs.  For me, that was
unacceptable and defeated the purpose.

Perhaps it is better now?
