[oXygen-user] feature request for syncing filesystem with webdav

[Dan Caprioara]

Hello Jakob,

You could try the following (I have not tested it, but it might work):

1. Map the MarkLogic WebDAV modules folder to your local file system. 
(You may find useful:

2. Add the network drive to your oXygen project.

Now you can edit your XQuery modules from oXygen and you can checkout 
modules from the SVN repository directly to the network drive, using a 
SVN client.

Cheers,
Dan
