If you need to map the DAV file manager to a web view perhaps the easiest 
solution would be to use the WebDAV File Mngr portlet 
(http://www.jahia.org/jahia/webdav/site/jahia_org/shared/portlets/WebDAVFileManager/webdavfilemanager-ear-1.0.ear) 
on your pages. Warning: this webapp is still in beta. Certain operations in 
edit mode are still quite buggy...

Else, if you want to automatically create a page for each new directory or 
a new container for each new file, we developed a small prototype for one 
of our prospect (available here: 
http://cvspub.jahia.org/nightly-build/2005-03/jahia450_build7026_ged.exe ). 
Warning: this is based on a very early dev. release of the future Jahia 
4.5. Things are still not working (e.g. Metadata). Others have not been 
implemented in this proto yet: delete of files and directories which needs 
to trigger a delete of pages or of containers; move of directories or 
files; etc...

Finally a more easy solution would be simply to develop a JSP template 
which would only allow you to navigate in the content of your DAV store 
(quite the same as in the Jahia DAV engine but code backported in a template).

So it really depends what you plan to do with your pages at the end....

It really depends what you call a "good KM site"? What is your definition 
of it?
