This sounds good.

Seth's "Alan Cooper" post [1] has made me think about WebDAV and CVS behind
GnomeVFS. We could have many of the features of the MS Office workgroup
stuff at the *GNOME* level, not the application level.

The benefit of WebDAV is that it could operate similarly same locally and
remotely.

[1] Alan Cooper's first book, "About Face", had a lot of verbiage dedicated
to the "faked" difference between memory and hard drive space, and its
ultimate effect on the user interface. Many users are still confused by this
idea. At a basic level, consider the difference between using MS Access and
MS Word.
