Hi, When several people are working on the same site, what is the current approach in preventing two people modifying the same object? --------------------------------------------- I have seen the buzzword WebDAV here and there. I have visited the http://www.webdav.org/ site, but I am still clueless as what it is. It WebDAV still under intense development? Does Zope support WebDAV now? Is WebDAV just a protocol extension to HTTP, so people are still talking to each other on how to shape up this protocol? For developers and content managers, what software do we need to install to use WebDAV? When the Zope people talk about a "Zope WebDAV Test Server", are they referring to (1) A downloadable software package, or (2) A physical server machine, much like a website where you can create accounts for people so they can help to develop the eventual server software? --------------------------------------------- I ask these questions because neither the WebDav homepage http://www.webdav.org/ nor the Zope WebDav homepage http://webdav.zope.org:2518/ seem to provide adequate concise information for people to understand quickly what WebDAV is. This message, when archived, would help other newbies like myself. (Oh, I just found this in one of the E-group messages: "The Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol for collaborative editing on the Web. Microsoft was first to market with WebDAV authoring software in Internet Explorer 5 and Office 2000, while Zope was the first application server to provide WebDAV support. Digital Creations is working with Microsoft to ensure interoperability with the upgraded WebDAV support in Windows 2000." Putting this kind of brief info in the homepages would help. It's important for user to know two things: (1) That WebDAV is not a software package, it's a protocol, much like Telnet, FTP or HTTP. (2) That things are still under development and no WebDAV-enabled Zope server is available at this moment. ) ------------------------------------------------------ Info on any other current method of locking zope objects for editing would be appreciated. regards, Hung Jung ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
