I think this is attractive to many users. If no one else is interested, I would be happy to work on this. > Would a war (web archive) be enough for a binary release? Hardly... > I would propose generating multiple binary release packages from the slide codebase: 1) Slide/Tomcat Integrated release, preconfigured to be 'out of the box runnable' 2) Slide WEBDAV Server WAR file for Servlet Containers supporting WAR deployment, still requireing store and users configuration. 3) Slide WEBDAV Server Admin WAR file. (aside: what is the state of the admin stuff? is it worth taking into the release?) Additionally, I would remove the client into a seperate jakarta project (jakarta-slide-client). It has little to do with the server code (although I imagine the tests use it?), and might experience more development if it had its own project.
