New description:

 I suspect that the most convenient front-end in the long run is going to
 be a WEBDAV server. Most operating systems know how to mount DAV shares,
 we wouldn't need any special per-platform code, and our webapi server is
 pretty close to being a DAV server anyways.

 OTOH there is some funky locking that must be done, and there might be
 some impedance mismatches that need to be resolved.

Comment (by amontero):

 Call to Twisted/WSGI/webserver wizards: Could not #2144 help achieve
 WebDAV, just using an out-of-the-box web server?
