Hi Ralph,

Thanks for the info - I'm now downloading 2.0 on the apache maven repository (which I think was updated a few days ago).

Cheers!

-Pauline.

I came into VFS after 2.0 was started. I've done quite a bit of work, mostly 
around fixing the build and integrating webdav support using Jackrabbit.  There 
are still a large number of Jira issues that I simply don't have the time to 
look at . I've applied patches where they were provided and I could verify that 
they would work.  As far as I can tell, 2.0 is pretty stable.  I've attempted 
to start a release a couple of times but managed to forget my password for my 
code signing key, which makes it difficult to actually do a release.  I guess 
I'll have to generate a new key.

As for accepting new code, we are pretty open to contributions as long as they 
can use the Apache license and they are contributed under a CLA or software 
grant (see http://www.apache.org/licenses/). It would be best if they code 
actually came with people who would continue to work on it and help maintain 
it, as well as help with the existing code base.

Hi all,

We've been developing a set of providers for "grid" enabled protocols for a few 
years now (with help from many people in Australia and in the UK).  What is the process 
for integrating these providers into VFS (if you'll accept it!)  For those interesting 
it's here:

http://projects.arcs.org.au/trac/commons-vfs-grid/

To my second question: I've noticed there's been some updates on the VFS 
subversion.  Is there likely going to be another release soon?  We have a data 
transfer project right now requiring the use VFS.  The version we're using was 
the trunk check out from early 2009. It would be good to get an updated and 
stable release to work with.

Many thanks,

-Pauline.
