Thanks Dave for pointing out something that was bothering me as well. My company has to design and develop an application to serve as a document repository for a small governmental istitution together with some workflow functionality.
By now I have two choices: 1. JackRabbit 2. Slide Since the application requirements could be fulfilled by any reliable document repository which exposes a webdav/deltav interface. And there comes the question... why the two projects splitted up ? what is in the future of the slide project ? are the developers and users of the slide project going to migrate to jackrabbit ? When is the first release of jackrabbit planned ? I would thank anyone that could shed some light on this topic, which in the end is about evaluating the risk of choosing a platform to start a project from.
