 This will be first officially available in 2.2. We missed
the feature
deadline for 2.1.

 Glad you're asking. Why? Because the developer team I'm
responsible for
is, among other things like UNO and the API, responsible for
all the
extension infrastructure enhancements SUN is currently
implementing. 

 Our vision: OOo = UNO Runtime Environment (URE) +
extensions

 Therefore, IMO it is always a good idea to enhance the
modularity of
OOo. Thus, turning non-core OOo stuff that is not an
extension into an
extension is always a good thing to do.

 No concrete plans to turn WebDAV support into an extension.

great ... So, let's start ... I decided to fix some issues
in current
WebDAV content provider, but I'll be working on external
WebDAV
support (= extension) too. I can take attention from more
developers
and after that, we can remove neon from source code tree.

 - < 2.2 - WebDAV - internally supported
 - >= 2.2 - WebDAV - supported by module

I just hope, that the whole infrastructure (for modules)
will be
prepared in 2.2 time.

Regards,
Robert
