Hi Michael,
The current implementation of groups in ownCloud is only used for checking admin status and only admins can create/modify groups. In terms of sharing this is alright for enterprise, but it isn't ideal for a normal user who may want to group people together for quick sharing on a reoccuring basis. In my mind this is a different definition of groups and so it may break off from the group backend. For the future of sharing in ownCloud I envision sharing becoming more focused on a user's contacts rather than users of the same ownCloud instance. I'm still formulating these changes in my head.
I see. We have many workgroups at university that use samba shares for collaboration. A share can be accessed by the members of a posixgroup. And the admin of the workgroup can manage his posixgroup. I thought of owncloud as an alternative to the samba shares.
