I think the most important common experience the two of us had was the
realization how crappy most of the existing WebDAV clients are.  :(

It would really be nice if we were to choose a "reference
implementation".  For beginners, I would suggest cadaver -- a command
line WebDAV client that offers an FTP interface.  That means that 1. it
should be good enough to demonstrate that the wiki can implement a
filesystem and 2. we can script a unit test using cadaver.

My first goal is a class 1, non-locking, no ACL, no versions interface,
and prove that it works with cadaver.
