Yes, that mostly comes under the category of "Publishing", which is headed by Kathy Brade ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). It's not planned for the *next* release (mozilla 1 / Netscape 6.5), but the one after (NS 7.0, not sure what mozilla timetable is.) We had very minimal publishing (FTP, HTTP push) in 4.7, but poor directory management. We hope to do better for mozilla. Stay tuned and we would love to have some help!
