If you dont know the client environment then probably you should go with the 
web interface.  DAV is nice because (in principle) it lets your users mount 
the repository and use it like an ordinary network filesystem (which is MUCH 
more convenient.  But if you tell ordinary people "Just mount it as a web 
folder", you will probably just get a blank look :)

NB: Just looking at the code, I am no longer entirely sure that simply sharing 
the groupware filemanager's home directory is at all a good idea.  It may not 
even work at all (more than just metadata is stored in the database).
