Hi, With the default Sling launchpad we're still shipping the content explorer from bundles/extensions/explorer. While this has the benefit of being available as a basic tool, it's pretty buggy and unmaintained - last 'non-administrative' commit was in Feb 2012 .
I think it's time to retire this explorer to the attic and look for other options. I for one have been using Composum [1] with good results for some months. The resource explorer part is very good, and it also has other extras such as an ACL editor, user/group management and an interface for content package management. It is licensed under the MIT license, so we're clear here. We also have an explorer under contrib/explorers/resourceeditor, but it's still under contrib and though I like the approach it takes to designing and composing the frontend, my impression is that it's not yet ready to be moved to the main build and included in the launchpad. Of course, feel free to disagree :-) So my proposals would be: 1) Remove the "old" explorer from the launchpad 2) Move the "old" explorer to the attic 3) Include composum in the launchpad Thoughts? Thanks, Robert [1]: https://github.com/ist-dresden/composum
