Hi,

in the first run we could implement it perhaps by an extension, this 
should work for the basic functionality. But if we would like to have 
the overkill versioning + whatever WebDAV integration we definitely need 
some changes in the core.

The Apache modules work but the we really just can handle files in an 
physical folder. If we can control it via php we can create virtual 
files/folders to edit TS templates or even CEs. And for files the 
categories as described by Jan-Hendrik.

Hope know it is a bit clearer.
