I agree that there is little chance to revive the server part of Slide for reasons that should not be discussed here. However, Martin's and also my hopes had been that when the - indeed useful - WebDAV client was moved to a different project it could actually be revived. Reasons are that it is functional, useful and of much less complexity than the server. I would at least volunteer to support the initial move (including cleanup) to HttpComponents and once it is there am confident it will attract further contributors. The command line client should be dropped, really.
