Having WebDAV interface sounds very very cool, but
under no
circumstances should we introduce yet another direct database access
layer.
At present, Wiki is a web based single tier application -- the code
that modifies the databases is intermixed with the UI code that
renders web pages.
The API has to duplicate some of the db access logic, together with
various security validations, to provide useful services.
The machine-readable API should *never* be duplicating any database
access logic. Any remaining cases where DB code is intermixed with UI
need to be refactored, as have been many places in the code already.
As I recommended before, and as I continue to recommend, nothing should
be going into the API without doing that refactoring. Any time you add
new DB code into the API, it's a mistake.
