Hello there!
Myself Mohamamd Hussain, I joined the Plone community a few months back and since then thanks to the help of some wonderful mentors (@stevepiercy, @ksuess, @tiberiuichim, and more) I have made several contributions to plone/volto and plone/documentation and now I am a bit comfortable with plone codebase.
As mentioned above I am interested in the GSoC project Locking control panel for which I had done the research and made a Proposal.
After reading all the other discussion posts about this project, I have a few questions which I would like to ask before submitting my proposal for review:
-
I have to come to know about the
/++api++/plone/@lockAPI endpoint which is used by Volto to lock/unlock content objects.(I know non-stealable locks can't be unlocked with this)
Can this be used for implementing this new functionality or we will need to create new endpoints? -
and if yes, are there any specific requirements or guidelines for implementing the new endpoint in the Plone REST API?
-
It is not mentioned in the project description but I would like to implement
lock filter by {date/user/timeout}option in this Lock Control panel for which I have an approach in mind. Can I add this to my proposal? I have some more minor features in mind too.
@robgietema, and @jackahl I would love to hear from you guys.
@tisto I saw it was first proposed by you, I would be glad if you can provide your insights.
Thanks! (^ ^).
