Re: [Mediawiki-enterprise] Frequent requirement - Editing attachments

Maybe an FTP interface would be even simpler? AFAIK MS webdav implementations 
are very buggy and often hard to deal with. Does Excel have the ability to 
access FTP? IE definitely can do it, so I think office probably also can...___

Of course! And those are properly versioned. Have you ever diff'ed 2 excel 
files ?

Users need to understand the consequences of doing things the easy way

People are used to save every 5 minutes, even on share point this completely 
defeats any versioning.

 As a mediawiki and sharepoint user and admin, editing in place is one
 of the most required features but also a sign of not knowing what are
 the consequences. Most tipicaly, from a documentation point of view,
 edit in place completely trashes any kind of version management,
 rendering the whole platform useless. If users need to edit in place,
 use a file system, and forget about proper versioning.
 
 O_o But aren't normal mediawiki articles edited 'in-place'? :)

A WebDAV interface to MediaWiki could be built so that MediaWiki could
appear as a filesystem and continue to handle versions as changes are made.

IIRC, when KnowledgeTree was open source 4-5 years ago, it had a WebDAV
interface available.  Perhaps someone could use that code to build
something similar for MediaWiki.

While this is something that is possible, it doesn't exist at the
moment.  I personally think this would be an awesome addition to MediaWiki.
