Hi, Marc!

Good intention, but please check freshmeat.net for already existing
projects.  Maybe it's better to improve an already existing project, even
if it uses some other toolkit?  Just a thought.

I don't understand why you consider MC as an alternative to the
prospective Gtk+ client, and in the same time, SkunkDAV
(http://skunkdav.sourceforge.net/) and other existing projects "do not 
count" and you want another client.

If Gtk+ interface is what you need, then you probably mean to add support
to GMC - the GNOME fronted to Midnight Commander.  If that's true, I must
disappoint you - all GNOME code has been removed from the Midnight
Commander due to lack of interest from users and developers.  You can
contribute code to GNOME VFS and Nautilus - the new file manager for
GNOME.

I'm not an expert in WebDAV, but I think that it's possible using VFS
(virtual filesystem capability) of the Midnight Commander.  Essential is
the ability to retrieve the file list, because MC is essentially a program
for manipulating file lists.
