Development talk:File API

Some quick questions to avoid forgetting them:

1) Will them be under the control of FileAPI (or, as they are now, fixed local storage)?

- dataroot/temp - dataroot/lang - dataroot/cache - dataroot/environment - dataroot/filter - dataroot/rss - dataroot/search - dataroot/sessions - dataroot/upgradelogs

2) Assuming we'll have a cool OOP FileAPI...

- a) Will it support different FileAPI classes (to be able to store in other systems) ? - b) Will it support multiple FileAPI classes working together (like the Repo) ?

3) I've annotated in red some things that have sounded strange in my first look.

4) Are we going to have "directory records" in the implementation, or that is going to be handled exclusively by the "moodlepath" column?

5) One general question... are we going to "force" all modules to be "autocontained" ? How are we going to handle resources, for example (with all those css, links, images..). In general how are we going to handle multiple-file packages?

That's all for now, ciao4niao :-) Eloy Lafuente (stronk7) 21:27, 5 April 2008 (CDT)
