File Abstraction Layer code sprint

A code sprint for the File Abstraction Layer will be held from Thursday the 11th of November until Sunday the 14th at wmdb Headquarters in Dusseldorf, Germany. Travel expenses, costs for accomodation and catering will be covered by the TYPO3 Association.

Overview

This project is about creating a basic file abstraction layer into the TYPO3 core. Current and future projects like DAM, a cloud service like Dropbox or Ubuntuone can be build on this basic feature set of handling files.

The basic idea is to have a DB driven layer between TYPO3 and your assets. Utilizing this will open up completely new possibilities like displaying usage information on a asset or to deny users to delete an asset which is used somewhere on the website.

Also, FAL will lower the amount of website traffic because duplicate images are avoided within the website. There is only one single reference to the file. No duplicates any more in your uploads folder.

Finally FAL will be able to execute maintainance jobs to keep your TYPO3 installation clean without having to worry about filling up multiple folders with assets you don't need.
