[Typo3-dev] sys_history and versioning

[Sebastian Kurfuerst]

Hello,
I just found out some inconsistencies about sys_history, I think. The 
problem is that moves (up/down), inserts or deletes of content elements 
on a page are not recorded in the history, but I think it is something 
important which belongs into the history. I currently investigate 
sys_history versus versioning for a new wiki, and if these things could 
be implemented in the sys_history, it would be a much "cleaner" solution 
than creating a new version everytime something changed, because else 
many not used tt_content records are created. Versioning is a great 
feature, but for using it as the versioning part in a wiki, it has some 
flaws which make it difficult to handle. At the current development 
stage, I use versioning heavily, but I am not satisfied with this 
solution at all - thats why I want to switch to sys_history...
Something else related to sys_history: If somebody reverts a record to 
an old version, is the event (of reverting a record) itself shown in the 
history, too? I don't think so, but I think this is important as well.

Do you have any comments/suggestions how to handle it? My preferred 
solution would be to add all the needed functionality to sys_history 
because then, more parts of TYPO3 than just a wiki could benefit from it.

Greets,
Sebastian
