Kenton, thanks for all of the work you and your contributors do on sandstorm.io; I have referred this project to many people wanting to get their feet wet "running a server" as a way to do something without instantly cutting yourself. Have you considered writing a how-to article on replicating ownCloud-like functionality within Sandstorm using apps? It might be a good first step, and I believe that it has the possibility to help people move onto (what I personally believe is) a superior platform.

Well, mostly I see ownCloud as the good guys, and my hope is to have it available as a Sandstorm app soon.

So I'd rather focus on replacing SaaS, like Google Docs/Drive. :) Here's a blog post about that:

The biggest things I see ownCloud still having a huge advantage on is contacts and calendars, nobody's ported or written good apps for Sandstorm to do that yet.

There's an awesome file storage app called Davros though, that's actually compatible with the ownCloud desktop client for file syncing!
