My account has been created today and want to thank you for your confidence. Allow me to introduce myself, so you know whom you elected.
I have been studied chemistry, where I did my first programming exercises on a DEC Vax using FORTRAN 77. Trying to combine computers and chemistry I did number crunching for quantum chemistry.
Currently I work for a government owned company in the chemistry information field. We are involved in a major eLearning project for German chemistry students (http://www.vs-c.de). There are currently approximately 150 authors at 16 different universities all across Germany, in Switzerland and England. It was soon discovered, that no available system would fit the needs, so we started to develop our own system.
The front end of the system is cocoon for display and the XML Spy (or any other XML editor) and some special purpose tools for editing. The repository was CVS, but it was to technical for some authors, so it was replaced by slide/WebDAV. Currently there are about 40,000 documents and 18 GB of data in the slide repository.
Martin, welcome!
Let me ask you something: do you use versioning at all in that repository?
So my interest in slide is not focused on new features, but keep the repository running and hunt bugs.
Solidity is as important as new features, so I think it's a great thing.
