First, the folowing happened to me today, in the context of a
directory shared trough ftp, nothing to do with Nuxeo... but I will
expand.
We shared a directory, I put a file there, then my colleague deleted it.

Oups ! If I had not taken the precaution to duplicate my file locally,
I would had lost it !

How would Nuxeo answer to this issue : you should not expected user to
keep local versions of their documents.

This is really about user experience.
To feel confident with a tool a user should expect to be allowed to
make mistakes.

- When a user delete a file, this file should be put in the user trash
can from where the user can bring it back for a couple of weeks or
months. In the context of Nuxeo, the file could appear both in the
file owner's trash can and in the one from the user who made the
mistake (if they are different)
- If a user move a file (or similar actions) it should be able to undo
that move

Because of the collaborative aspect of Nuxeo, undo may be a bit tricky
to define, but the "trash can" tool (with possibly an auto purge of
oldest documents) could be a great improvement to the user experience.

What is the usual policy adopted within real life implementation of
Nuxeo to deal with wrong deletion of files ?
