I like the webDAV approach because one can use it with so many different editors. Most desktop web editors support webDAV and have for a while. If the editor doesn't support webDAV, well, just make a web folder (windows) or mount_webdav (mac, which doesn't work yet, think it doesn't like the way the depth header isn't respected currently).


as mentioned in my email to Gregor, OSR-101 is not about editing only, whereas
it's a minor part in it, but a good topic to start with.

But WebDAV is just not sufficient for this purpose.


The ability to build up a publication in Lenya from an existing site using drag and drop is really nice :).


I think this depends very much on what the existing site is based.

considering that CMS are written in all kinds of languages and running on all kinds of platforms, a protocol-based approach seems the only sensible choice. we already use PUT in many editors, and kupu models the WebDAV model of resources and collections.

http://codespeak.net/svn/kupu/trunk/kupu/doc/LIBRARIES.txt has more on this. lenya 1.4 now has webdav support. ideally, custom config details could be determined via PROPGET.

as far as i understand, both kupu and bxe already ship with a js webdav library. ironically, it seems to have originated in an earlier oscom effort: http://twingle.mozdev.org/

how is OSR-1 different from twingle? it seems to me it would make more sense to finish what we started with twingle long ago rather than embark on a new mission to rediscover the same solutions :)

twingle has since been partly incorporated into kupu (and parts into bxe as well), from what i understand

the other protocol, the ATOM api, would also be nice, but would not play nicely with desktop applications (where webdav is really the story)

WDYT?
