Ok, but there needs to be an interface to support the results of these events, and as far as I can tell, this is not part of webDAV. (Perhaps I am wrong, the spec is large, please correct me if you know better) So basically we would have to kludge the 'user interface' onto the events by reporting bogus webDAV errors, with the slide meaning hidden in the messages. I agree with you that slide is a server application, and there is room for the control beyond ACLs, events as an example, but I don't think the webDAV layer is the place for them. I think, as has been suggested in the past on the list, more thought needs to be given to a workflow engine, which uses the webDAV repository. The events you desire would be part of such a workflow layer. All this is just IMHO - if you guys all think events are something slide needs in the webDAV layer then I am prepared to accept that. Perhaps they could be deactivated if not needed?
