How should we tackle this issue ? I kind of am puzzled why it works like
that and how to go about fixing it.

I have following things on my list,

1. Refactor the code (modularise).
2. Implement Locking / Versionning operations.
3. Document the code (currently it's bit poor)
4. Test and make sure it works on all platforms.

How should i proceed ? what should be given priority ?

Since now i'm familiar with code base and WebDAV protocol itself, i think i
can pick up the phase a little, but i strongly believe it is better to set
some deadlines (milestones) so that i too can measure my work.

Thanks.

- Asiri
