Now there is an HTML Editor on Unix(Linux) which should run on any Unix called bluefish. They could include DTML Syntax easyly, and if Zope can be controoled via ftp Prot they could connect to Zope similar like you do with Emacs and you would have a start for a GUI HTML/DTML-Editor.

but the problem still is that you won't have full control on your server with ftp. you _can_ edit dtml documents and methods but can _can_not_ edit sql methods e.g.

I thought someone was working on an XML interface through ftp so that all properties or forms of an object get rendered as an XML document. This could be edited and sent back and thus interpretted to obtain the changes and thus the object is update. This seems to me the only general solution for providing a general, cross-platform, non-html interface that will work for existing editors such as emacs and html editors.
