[Zope] FTP/WebDAV editing in version (proposed interface)

[Eron Lloyd]

WebDAV would be the way to go with this...I imagine you just need a client 
with the proper support. I don't know how Zope wraps WebDAV around activity 
done in a version object, besides write-locking however (or if it even is 
done at all). Since KDE just recently got native WebDAV support, I haven't 
gotten a chance to play with it much yet. This is a good topic for 
discussion, however. I suppose there could be a way to access a version 
object's changes through FTP using URL mangling.

Regards,

Eron
