[Typo3-dev] Event System in the core / Ease the integration of 3rd party apps

[Robert Lemke]

Hi Andy,

an internal event system for TYPO3 is really an interesting topic, I
discussed that some weeks ago with René Fritz. I think that it might be
vital at some point having such an interface but I'm not sure which
approach to choose.

If you (or someone else) wants these features to become true, I suggest that
you do some research on the topic, collect information and finally write a
paper describing what it is all about (you could use parts from the Project
Description Template File [1]).

Interesting for me would be if there are any standards we can use and which
would suit our needs best. Or maybe it doesn't make sense using them at all
and better create a quick propriety solution. How is WEBDAV[2] related to
that, should we implement a SOAP[3] interface? What about the Java 170[4]
standard Björn Schotte is going to implement for PHP[5]? What other
approaches exist? How did other projects solve this problem?
