Even so, vfs would be nice if we had webdav support in AOLserver, because you could then remotely mount the CR on your local file system and directly edit content using your favorite text editor instead of some crappy web interface.
Exactly! This would help solve a big part of the CMS problem. I have long believed that a good Open Source CMS solution should use a combination of WebDAV and a lightly customized version of Mozilla Composer on the client side for all content creation and editing, leaving version control, workflow, publishing, and (to a certain degree) templating on the server side. This would greatly simplify the server-side UI design requirements while simultaneously enabling users to draw on the full range of desktop software functionality that they're used to having when they create documents. As a bonus, if users prefer a closed source client-side authoring app (e.g., Dreamweaver), they could do that too and still use WebDAV for seamless integration with the CMS.
