Re: [Phprojekt-devel] WebDAV for P6

[Albrecht G. <alb...@ma...>]

Hi Gustavo,

this sound pretty reasonable.
I suggest to implement the Zend_Webdav_Abstract and to create the webdav
part for the files module for PHProjekt 6.1

After this, in a next version we can enhance it with the caldav api.

all the best
Albrecht
