| There are a number of other uses cases for wanting to tell users
| something somewhere in the process of a webdav upload. You could, for
| example, want to remind them to set the privacy or tag the uploaded
| files (or some such).
| 
| The best thing(s) I could think of were:
| 1. Send them an email saying "you just uploaded files, here are some
| things to thing about"
| 2. The next time they login give them a message (popup or ???) with
| similar content.
| 
| Presumably there is some way for Sakai to know that files have been
| uploaded via webdav an initiate either or both of these. But perhaps
| I'm mistaken....
