One option I've been looking at lately connected to the Twingle project is the WebDAV protocol, which would enable users to browse and edit their Midgard data using the many WebDAV-enabled tools out there (including davfs for Linux, Windows Explorer, MS Office, DreamWeaver, Nautilus, ...) I've already made a working implementation of HTTP PUT and DELETE for topics and articles, and expanding it to snippets and pages shouldn't be difficult. We would need some additional DAV methods supported to be able to browse the "directories", though. The main issue with DAV is that the protocol is very file-oriented, meaning that everything is either a file or a directory (resource or a container). This means that supporting things like topic content, etc. will require "index.html-like" hacks with Midgard. Anyway, I estimate it would take some two evenings to get there. This would work only with PHP 4.3+ though (requiring CVS version of Midgard-PHP).
