Not at all, I love it ;-)

I was hoping for the dreamweaver.openDocument() method for interacting
with Zope. In that way you could get more control by using the manage_-methods
and do more intelligent things than just updating files.

I have not comfirmed if the dreamweaver.openDocument() just takes
(file:) URLs or if it takes (http:) URLs as well?

In that case it would be worth considering building a C-library handling
HTTP communication inside DW. (If its not already done?)

Have you found were to do this?

I don't quite follow? Could you explain it for me?
