I have some interest in that area. My solution would probably require an additional Apache module, though (http://raburton.lunarpages.com/apache/mod_auth_cookie/). Maybe I could avoid this, not sure. There is no way this will be done befroe the code freeze in case somebody wonders. Cheers, Gerhard

/me sheepishly raises his hand. I have a lot of ideas for file.inc, probably not all of which I can get implemented in the next 2 weeks, but yeah public/private should be replaced by some more granular file permissions stuff... i'd also like to see an abstracted backend (for alternate / remote storage), and the infamous "file hook"... for starters. I might even look at file versioning (/me winks at killes) -- James Walker :: http://walkah.net/
I'd be willling to help out as well. I see a need for substantial improvements and would certainly like to help. James please let me know when you plan to start work and we can coordinate our efforts. Cheers! ted
