I'm Fabiano Sant'Ana, working in a WebDAV Interface for Drupal in SoC, may be you already know me from #Drupal@freenode.net (my nick is wundo). You can read my proposal here: http://wundo.net/soc/ Please comment and suggest changes.
Looks good. I have some suggestions/questions about the webdav_upload.module. Currently, files are attached to individual nodes. So, it would seem that the WebDAV view has to mirror this somehow. Would this appear as a "node" folder, filled with folders that have numbers that correlate to node IDs? Or a folder called upload (for the name of the module). This should be part of the work of designing the API. It might be easier to work with the filestore2 module, because one node == one file. Yes, I know it doesn't use the file API, but it's the closest thing to document management that Drupal has. Other Drupal developers: there has been lots of discussion about file issues lately. It sucks that the only way to "re-use" binary files within Drupal is to link to them. Should we re-examine this for 4.7? Maybe the Google Sitemap student can do some file API work? Lastly: it would be good to have all proposals on Drupal.org, linking to the student's site/blog/whatever if they have one. Fabian -- I copy/pasted your proposal here -- http://drupal.org/node/26292 -- you can edit to fix formatting if you like. P.S. Robert -- http://www.planetsoc.com/ -- *nice* work!!! However, the link straight there from the Contributor Links is a little confusing. Maybe have it link locally to the handbook, and link out to Planet SoC from there? I'm also going to ask the docs team to make a badge for SoC to rotate on the front page. -- Boris Mann http://www.bmannconsulting.com
