Anything you can store in a file can potentially be authored using WebDAV, gaining its advantages. I'm wondering about WebDAV's features. By ensuring that people can work together without losing their changes, overwrite prevention is the key to WebDAV's collaboration support. The process is similar to the way word-processing files and directories are managed on a regular computer. Much of the office work that people do today is cooperative.
People work together on presentations, memos, reports, marketing plans and more.
Existing technology doesn't support that collaboration very well. This is a dual win. At home, the biggest change will be the increased ease of making individual Web pages. WebDAV-enabled applications will also help people who volunteer their time, since they'll be able to collaborate on things like announcements, newsletters, budgets over the Web. A lot of sites have a staged production.
