What's the added value of this vs the complexity (effort required) to review and maintain it? You stand a much better chance of getting reviewed if you make it easy for us. Best for significant new functionality is a separate new module; if that's not possible then a collection of simple patches is likely to be less daunting than one mega-patch. Including documentation is a big help. Including something for the test suite adds further value. It may also help if you convince us you are adding value for users in general rather than just a handful with particular needs. Implementing a hitherto-unsupported RFC would be the strongest example of that. Bearing that in mind, entering it as a RFE in Bugzilla (issues.apache.org) means we have a record of it, and something to refer to when you bug us on this list to review/add it. Mark it PatchAvailable. Oh, and also bear in mind, patches need to apply first to trunk. A patch against the stable branch (2.2.x) is secondary. -- Nick Kew

Re: ACL changes in mod_dav
This is pretty cool. I'm assuming you're referring to the WebDAV ACL spec features? Every time that I started to look into the issue, I ran into one basic issue: how to notify the multiple processes that the ACLs around a particular namespace have changed. How did you handle that?
