 +++ Two ways

 > There are (a least) two ways how 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 (not very good for a groupware). **Try to merge** The better way would
be that horde tryes to merge the changes, similar to cvs. If changes cannot
be merged, horde will tell the user. I think this is what I'll try.

++++ New Work
+> Since I needed a mechanism to lock resources for full WebDAV
functionality I have written a Horde_Lock subsystem.  Hopefully it will be
in CVS HEAD soon.  This subsystem is capable of locking arbitrary resources
identified by URI.  The locks support timeouts and exclusive vs. shared
semantics.
