Our top-level webdav view consists of following sub directories: - home - spaces - attachments - orphans - whatsnew IMO we should have a top-level view which lists all the wikis available, and inside each such wiki directory we can list above sub directories. The reason for webdav support not being actively developed is that it is not a feature frequently requested or funded (w.r.t components like officeimporter, wiki macros etc.). If this feature is really important for your organization what you can do is: 1) Dig into the code, implement support for multi-wiki environments and contribute the code back to xwiki. OR 2) Sponsor the development of this feature (via a commercial xwiki support company like XWiki SAS and ask them to contribute that code to XWiki opensource project). Either way you can support the xwiki opensource project while getting your work done. > 2.

Did you drop the files inside a wiki page directory? Then they should be added as attachments. If you are on a linux environment you can use [1] or [2] and develop shell scripts to manage your attachments. Note that the behaviour of webdav servers is very much dependant on the webdav client you are using, you should try out several clients and pick one that works best for your OS / environment.
