Well what I try to build here is maybe best described as mixture of a
webhosting environment and project collaboration à la SourceForge.
For some projects there is only a single webdesigner, for some others
there will be maybe upto five collaborators.
All together maybe a dozen projects and upto 50 deveopers/designers.
80% to 90% of them are connecting from outside the LAN, so Samba is not
an option.
Around 40% are on Macs, the rest on Windows and occasional a Linux/UNIX
user.
So I am left with WebDAv over SSL/TLS. Wich I need anyway for the SVN
access (and which i got working).

Another way would maybe work like this:
Let the users connect over insecure but proven FTP to their working copy
folders and do the SVN related tasks (Import/Checkout/Commit etc.) with
some web-based tools.
Has anybody heard, read, used or was thinking about solutions like this?
Any thought will be greatly apreciated :-)
