Which makes me wonder why we have RCS at all. Or, rather, gives me another
reason to wonder.

WebDAV[1] is supported natievly by Office2000: you name it and o2k will
export it to html and upload it to a webdav server. No broken specialised
html editors, no ftp programs.
Now I dont have o2k (only because I havent managed to borrow a cd yet), and
most people dont yet have o2k. But, if o2k supports it, you can bet on WP
office supporting it in the next release, and just about everything else
that will come out.
In six months the quesion wont be:
"How much, and what is the ftp site, username and pass?"
it will be
"How much and what is the WebDAV url, username and pass?"
If we give the questioner a blank stare, or worse yet, "please jump through
these flaming hoops first" they will go somewhere else. And somewhere else
is costing the same, or prehaps less then us.
I havent casualy come accross any web hosting place that supports WebDAV,
yet, and I havent gon looking. This could be a unique service, and as such,
an advertising point for us. For a couple of weeks, anyway.
And if 'we' think RCS is the holy road to QoS,. we can always intergrate a
RCS backend to WebDAV.
[1] "What is WebDAV?
Briefly: WebDAV stands for "Web-based Distributed Authoring and
Versioning". It is a set of
extensions to the HTTP protocol which allows users to collaboratively
edit and manage files on
remote web servers. "
from http://www.webdav.org a IETF sponsored effort, with an RFC. Major
$ from MS, but a real standard.
