29 : dj 1.2 <p><b>Questions and Issues</b></p>
30 : dj 1.1 <ul>
31 :     <li>How to manage the file system provider mapping to the resources?
32 :     <ul>
33 :     <li>Needs to be performant.</li>
34 :     </ul>
35 :     </li>
36 :     <li>How is this information persisted?</li>
37 :     <li>Should this information be shared in the repository?</li>
38 : dj 1.2 <li>How do we store folder-level metadata? (do we need to do this?)
39 :     <ul>
40 :     <li>If so, then what differentiates a project from a folder?</li>
41 :     </ul>
42 :     </li>
43 : dj 1.1 <li>How do we handle linked resources?</li>
44 :     <li>How do we provide access to the Core library calls?</li>
45 :     <li>Do we need startup/shutdown lifecycle events to allow for cleanup?</li>
46 :     <li>How do we deal with missing providers?</li>
47 :     <li>DefaultProvider could be an abstract class for others to inherit from.</li>
48 :     <li>Register data providers via an extension point.</li>
49 : dj 1.2 <li>The relationship between TeamProviders and DataProviders is yet to
50 :     be defined, but we would like to keep knowledge team out of Core as
51 :     much as we can. It is thought that perhaps TeamProviders should be able
52 :     to answer their &quot;preferred data provider&quot;.</li>
53 :     <li>Take a look at the current Move/Delete hook implementation. With this,
54 :     there are basically 2 ways of doing things. You can either do some pre-processing
55 :     and then defer the actual operation to the default (by calling IResourceTree.standardFileDelete,
56 :     etc) or the operation is broken into 2 separate pieces. The implementor
57 :     of the Move/Delete hook performs the file-system based part of the function
58 :     and then makes the appropriate calls back into the resource tree in
59 :     order to update the workspace.</li>
