Can you tell us why?
i found the slide codebase to be extremely confusing,
verging on incomprehensible. i was unable to make heads or
tails of the apis and had only the vaguest inkling of how i
might extend it for caldav.
by contrast, the jcr-server design is relatively simple and
elegant, and the extension points are natural and obvious.
also the slide community didn't seem to have much momentum
back in the spring of 2005. there was no defined release
plan and extremely little support on the mailing list. the
documentation that existed was sparse and often
frustratingly unintelligible, so when you had questions, you
were basically screwed.
things might have changed for the better with slide, but i'm
not optimistic. i vastly prefer the jackrabbit code and
community.
