What I'd like to see would be fine grained permission management for the existing shared folders, so one can grant read/write/delete/etc. privileges separately to individual users. The 'dovecot-shared' file could serve as configuration file here. I imagine a simple format like:
This is pretty much related to ACLs, and I think I should add support for different kinds of ACLs when I do it. Normal UNIX permissions, Posix ACLs and yes, dovecot-shared file ACLs. It needs some nice ACL API with different implementations and ways to layer them on top of each others so that operating system could force some checks and dovecot-shared file could make them more fine grained.
Yup, be sure to KISS, tho.
Anyway, it's all post v1.0 stuff to me.
Makes sense. Dovecot should be rock-stable before that stuff comes in because many consider it an enabling feat. for commercial deployment. You don't want to leave a bad first impression on all those PHBs. ;)
For my own use I'm glad that r/w shared folders are finally doable 'cause that's all I need right now. Thanks for that.
