+On this page I try to collect everything on Resource Locking.
 
+[[toc]]
+
++++ 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). [http://lists.horde.org/archives/dev/Week-of-Mon-20050404/017589.html 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 calidation 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.
