New files section
Something interesting to do in next few days...
I'm about to start working on new project files section. Current documents section is pretty limited and not so useful. Here are some notes:
- Files in folders. There will be no folder hierarchy in first version
- Files can be sorted by upload time or by name
- Thumbnails for supported types
- Searchable file types (text documents for instance). In that case script will add their content to search index (indexing can be restricted by type and by file size)
- File versioning. Files can be checked out (locked until user who checked it out does not check it in)
- Users can comment on files
- Default set of folders that are created when project is created. This set can be changed from administration
This one is one of the biggest changes planed for 1.0. It will also introduce attach file to anything and comment on anything features. It should will be fun ;)

I clicked the “Hide” (x) and blink realized that “permanently” is the fact. Is there some way to restore it? A preference setting? (You’re using cookies for this?)
What I imagined is this: that the little upward-pointing tab point to the link corresponiding to whatever page is being dispalyed and that its text provide context … the little tab would be still but the text could change with mouse-over. The less experienced user would benefit from this; the experienced user could hide the bar. Or something. ;-)
