[SAC] WebDAV for download.osgeo.org

[Howard Butler]

All,

After Martin's LDAP work and migrating the GeoTools project to OSGeo,  
we now have the ability to do LDAP-enabled WebDAV on the TelaScience  
blades.  This means that once configured, people can connect to  
download.osgeo.org and place or change files with a WebDAV client.  I  
was wondering if there would be support for making all of the download  
directories WebDAV-enabled, giving each directory access by its svn  
LDAP group.

The biggest advantage of this is removing the need for SSH access for  
most folks, as I think the biggest demand for shell access is simply  
to copy files to the machine.  If there is general support for such an  
approach, I will make it happen and document it.
