I'll buy it - when will you have it ready? :^)

Last time I looked, Delta-V was very CVS-like in its core 
approach (really, all of the DAV initiatives are very files-
and-directories-centric), at least in terms of basic concepts
and its "interface" to the outside world. I'm not suggesting 
that anyone actually wait for DV - I was just pointing it out
as a possibly good starting point for thinking about config. 
management in terms of the web. Some of their issues might 
be useful to think about in terms of how to plug CVS into
Zope.
