[Bug 777596] Host web services for GNOME users (email, calendar, etc)

["sysadmin" (GNOME Bugzilla) <bugzilla gnome org>]

Comment # 2 on bug 777596 from erusan@gmail.com

GNOME Software lets users share reviews, but these reviews can't be deleted or
edited by users, nor can accounts be banned or controlled, because it's all
just tied to a user's local login name. Providing a GNOME web account would
allow users to be banned, to manage their reviews, etc. It would also keep
users from being able to influence ratings by rating multiple times and leaving
multiple comments.

GNOME Recipes is looking for user submissions to be included. Being able to
share recipes via a web service provided by GNOME would allow those recipes to
be updated and other recipes to be found, formatted specifically for the
recipes app, from a GNOME database of user-shared recipes.

GNOME Web is working on a syncing feature for at least bookmarks (I'm not sure
if they plan on history, open tabs, etc). A GNOME hosted service for handling
GNOME Web bookmarks seems logical.

There are various other apps that would be able to implement backup/restore
from a web service. GNOME games could restore scores so that they're preserved
across installs. GNOME Books could backup bookmarks when they're implemented,
remembered locations in books could be restored across installs. GNOME System
Settings could even remember settings -- background, notifications settings,
user avatar, color profile, etc.
