notes from stuart's talk on sharing

(I noticed that ted's notes are better: TedLeung20041014)

• getvalue generic api in repository
• problems flattening a graph:
  • bidirectional refs
  • items in multiple collection
  • want to think of it as a single item shared
  • java serializing a graph of objects is a similar case
• sharing cpia views? not a kibble feature but could bring up issues
• sharing an item collection with a rule
  • generalizing so that item collections work the same as all items: problems with "hidden" attributes (don't want to run query on the other side)
  • options: drop the rule before sharing, don't run the rule
• efficiency issues w/items changing
  • items getting marked as dirty too often
  • can now look at all changes to the repository, way too slow, not fine enough granularity
• on a specific item, want to note that you only want to share a certain set of attributes
• what you can represent in webdav is a subset of what we can represent in repository
  • can't have different permissions per attribute in webdav
• can't currently share item collections that contain item collections (by design)
• noting changes quickly efficiently in webdav
  • attach changelogs to all individual items and item collections?
• entire cloud as resource?
  • could only have one body
  • different tradeoffs regarding network access
