Subject: workspaces as collections
Another proposal that we started discussing this week was to make
a workspace be a special kind of collection resource that specifies
the target selection for its members (including the selection of
working resources). The members of a workspace can be both versioned
and unversioned resources.
This has several advantages:
- it probably corresponds better to many peoples intuition of what a
workspace should be
- it effectively just makes the workspace URL a prefix for a URL that
identifies the revisions and versioned resources selected by the
workspace
- core versioning clients (and even versioning unaware clients) have
access to multiple workspaces.
If there are no objections, I'll make a pass through the protocol
and see how this proposal looks when instantiated in the protocol.
Cheers,
Geoff
