  • Centralized file control
    • So, let's talk about WebDAV:
      • WebDAV is an HTTP-based protocol that allows for users to lock, change and upload files; It uses a web server to allow people to get files and make changes to them
      • It also allows for arbitrary meta-data to be held for each of the files, to allow for things like editing data, authors, etc.
      • "WebDAV", the protocol & "WebDAV", the server application are intermixed frequently -- just note that it's both for your own sanity.
    • Simple to set up, and it has some simple access restriction capabilites
    • Quite nice for doing distributed authoring, simple file access for multiple people, and now for doing iCal
