w/ REST, we could have a command line tool to post files once they've been changed. Not really nessecary, but I can see how REST would be useful to edit templates. Or, we can configure our web server with WebDAV, and use Cadaver (http://www.webdav.org/cadaver/), hook authentication so it works with our auth system, and provide kind-of-a-virtual path for all templates that can be edited with WebDAV. This is almost kinda sorta like REST, as now it supports more verbs that WebDAV clients support (which usually perform file transfers). > > > CON: > > > a) makes it harder to edit using a basic text editor. I believe a lot of web content editors support WebDAV. KDE's VFS certainly does, and 'kate' is a wonderful editor..
