There is bug 212342 about Gecko:Web DAV support in Mozilla.

There are entries on Darin's and Robert's blog, too.

I see two directions where we need discussion, one would be the possible uses of Gecko:Web DAV in Mozilla or Firefox and the rest of the gang, the other would be how to factor the required code and how to expose it.

Documents: Web DAV.org, RFC 2518, RFC 3253, RFC 3744

Use cases

publishing in editor and NVu
publishing in calendar
basis for support of protocols like CalDAV
data exchange in the office
remote profiles
launching third party Gecko:Web DAV enabled apps (e.g.: openoffice passing the URL, not a temp file)
viewing webDAV server contents (e.g.: Apache/moddav, iDisk, Stellent Content Server etc.)

Each of these need details, and a list of required Gecko:Web DAV features.

Exposed API

Suggestions I have seen so far are

component implementing a scriptable interface, like xmlrpc or other xmlextras
mapping of Gecko:Web DAV features into a RDF datasource
implementation of nsIFile (nsGecko:Web DAVFile) would seem natural (would this give us the RDF data source for "free"?)

I probably missed quite a few, and this is far from giving anybody a idea what to do, I guess.
