On this page I try to collect everything on Resource Locking.

The idea

I noticed that there is currently no way horde can tell you that anyone is already editing an item when you > try to edit an item (notes, wiki, etc). Kevin Myer asked the same question a few weeks ako on the dev list, > but none is working on this. So I decided to solve this problem.

Two ways

There are (a least) two ways this can be done.

Locking

The easy one is to lock an item for a certain time when someone starts to edit it. If someone else tryes to edit it, horde will deny this and tell him / her to wait. The contra of this is > that only one person can edit one item at one time.

Try to merge

The better way would that horde tryes to merge the changes, similar to cvs. If changes cannot be merged, horde will tell the user. Maybe I can use the form validation for this.

Roadmap and timeline

Ther is timeline for this project yet. Since I haven't done any development for horde yet, I need to read a lot of code first.
