I am currently starting to evaluate ZOPE

	http://www.zope.org

>From the information that I've gathered, it implements WebDAV, which is
a protocol to do exactly what you want (content management & version control).
I believe that the MS Winblows webfolders use the WebDAV protocol somehow.

ZOPE is more than just WebDAV, but exactly what it is is what I hope to
discover in my evaluation.

Anyway, you can also search on WebRFM which is a perl CGI script which
implements a class-1 WebDAV server/protocol.
