732459 - kuma: Implement a WebDAV interface to the wiki

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Description

An idea - if the Kuma wiki had a WebDAV interface, then contributors could do things like:

* Mount the wiki as a network file share
* Edit documents with an editor of choice
* Dump generated docs into a path of the wiki (eg. jetpack docs extracted from source, etc)

Some background links and notes-to-self:

This would need a lot of thought, and working out of implications. We'd need to guard against things like someone trying to upload a few gigs of lolcat pictures, etc. Authentication in the post-BrowserID world might be tricky.

Also, thinking this is a 2012Q4 or 2013Q1 feature, just to set expectations. Need to get the new wiki up and running and stable long before we could think about tackling something like this.
