I think it is important to keep the web content in CVS:

 - We have mechanisms in place to adminster CVS access conveniently, 
   and these will be extended in the future.

 - CVS is what the developers at least are familiar with, and
   easier to avoid introducing new mechanisms.

 - We have a lot of experience mirroring and backing-up CVS,
   and don't have to worry about getting some custom database
   format corrupted and loosing the web site.

Elliot claims there is CVS/Zope integration so this may not be
a problem.

(I think you could do some nice CVS integration into a file 
manager; you want quite a standard VFS, but the idea of local
and remote copies and diffs betwen them etc, would have to be
in place for a functional DAV interface with version control
as well.)

Sounds like that will be Joakim _or_ using WML.
