[Phpgroupware-developers] categories, ACL and VFS

[totschnig . michael]

I forgot another point: I think a new model for categories/folders
should include defining ACL. Adminstrators and users should be able to
define for whom objects in a folder are visible and editable. Thus
applications could make use of folder-level ACL without any extra
work.
And another idea: I think the VFS should make use of such a folder
system too! Thus users would not have a separate filemanager, but they
could create their files in the same place they put their addresses,
appointments, webpages, etc.
