It could be useful to have a system tracking content editing in Ez.

Using versions we can know many information about editing of content, but we don't have information about deleting, moving or adding location contents.

In table "ezcontentobject_trash" are information about node, but there isn't data about the deleting request (user and data of deleting).

We suggest to create a table in database where to track all edit events of user with these information:

- user_id
- date of event
- kind of event (edit, delete, move, add location,...)
- Content data (node_id, contentobject_id, parent_node_id, main_node_id,...)

For big sites with many editors have a system tracking is very important.

Not that I know of - but there are 2 'magical' global variables you can define in config.php to alter the max size of log files before they are rotated and the number of rotated files that are kept.

Look up in an issue in the issue tracker for the exact names of those 2 vars... ;)
