Ok, maybe wrong document - but the WebDav sharing plugin for Git came up 
at a discussion yesterday at SCALE about artists having trouble with the 
complicated GIT. Having a WebDav folder (which they can just open in any 
KDE app or mount for non-KDE apps) where they can drop files which are 
then available in GIT is just awesome ;-)

If OwnCloud could implement this I'm sure the openSUSE Artists would be 
the first to use it... ;-)
