[kupu-dev] WebDAV with Kupu

[Mark Fletcher]

Thanks, Guido! I'll take a look at those libraries. For my initial
project, I'm only worried about creating, locking, and updating files
(no moves, or new folders, or even versioning), so hopefully this won't
be too hard to implement.

But, I'm curious...  How is Kupu being integrated with CMS's like
Silva, Zope, Lenya, etc. without WebDAV?
