[Zope] GoLive and WebDAV?

[Sim Harbert]

I have been checking into using ZPT to allow our designers to edit content, and so
far things are going pretty well.  But, I haven't had a chance to allow our
designers edit things using the WebDAV interface with HomeSite (I don't have a
copy).  I have checked it a bit myself, and edit things using FTP (Xemacs EFS) and
have set up certain folders to create PageTemplate objects by default, instead of
DTML.  I can give info on how to change PUT_factory() to get that to work.

The key to using ZPT with GoLive is whether GoLive removes the "extra" attributes
that ZPT puts in.  If it doesn't then things should work.

I'll try to keep you posted on how things go for us.
