After discussing with Bob, we can to the conclusion that the best way to
handle the MapGuide and FDO massive doc folders is to have some way of
being able to upload all these mega files to the www.osgeo.org server -
instead of the currently annoying task of managing them in SVN.

His team would only need access to one folder via something like WebDav
(or ftp) to be able to upload their computer generated docs for their html
api browser. I thought of WebDav because it will already be included in
Apache and is really easy to setup and could optionally use our LDAP.

This document management issue exists for others too, not just MapGuide
and FDO, but some of the committees have many large files scattered about
that are not good to manage through simplistic web forms. So a general
solution built on LDAP would be ideal.

Any thoughts? What do others think?

Comment (by tmitchell):

Here is a brief howto on WebDAV and LDAP:

Apache-WebDAV-LDAP-HOWTO.html
I can give it a try setting it up if others are busy.
