I don’t know, I leave you alone for a week….
SparkleShare *does* require you to set up a git repository of your own: https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare/wiki/How-to-set-up-your-own-server although I believe that you can also use public repositories such as gitorius or github. I believe it was conceived as a method of sharing files for collaborative development etc rather than a general cloud storage tool, so that’s probably its USP.
ownCloud runs as a web application – while as Frank said last time it uses git for versioning, from what I’ve seen it does all the setup for you.
I’m a bit behind with you podcast [they are Great by the way] and would just like to say thanks for the item on TextBookStuff. I’ve just downloaded my first book which is “The Signalman” as I’ve missed the compo and note that although UbuntuOne has the title I would just like to point out to others buying books from this site that the titles are different prices on several of the providers and that UbuntuOne is not the cheapest. Keep up the good work and I’ll try and catch up on my listening.
