Daniel,
If we choose the Slide/Cocoon route then I would ideally love to contribute to something usable by the broader community. I work at a University and we are just making inroads into the areas of Portals and CMS's so I'd love to find solutions that build on open standards and open software. (Our campus portal will be based on uPortal).
I liked the Slide Block of the Cocoon project as a very basic web interface for browsing a repository and viewing object properties. I'm not sure if you have looked at it or not, but it isn't bad.
At this point I have not looked at any of the API's or have any understanding how difficult it is to work with WebDAV or Slide from a programming standpoint. I have also noticed that it seems to be recommended to write with the WebDAV API's rather than the native Slide API's.
I have done some testing with Cocoon in the past and I like the way it separates the various layers of display, logic, etc. I find it much easier not having to worry about the exact HTML output when you are coding.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas.
Tim

Hi Tim, are you planning to contribute your efforts to the Slide project? I started some time ago to build an administration application on top of Slide/Projector but I struggled as it looked so ugly as I'm no designer ;-( If you managed to start the admin app you know what I mean. I would help to build a CMS frontend on top of Slide/Projector as this is what I had in mind. Would be nice to have this as demo app for projector as well as you can use all the WebDAV notifications stuff to build pages in background and provide a fast app to the end users. Please let me know what you are planning! Cheers, Daniel

Everyone,
We have started looking at plausible content management options and I am very impressed with the options that Slide/WebDAV provide for file/revision managment and more. These can be at any stage of development as we are investigating at the moment.
My question is, are there any current projects out there providing an END USER front end for managing content through Slide/WebDAV. I have looked at the slide block in Cocoon which is definately a good start. I have also looked at the WebDav block and Projector application. I have also looked at DAVExplorer (not too bad, but clunky), Windows WebFolders. All provide pieces, but there is no "glue" that I can find.
We are looking for something that will provide end user functions for viewing/previewing content, rolling back revisions, workflow... you know, many of those CMS goodies.
We are liking the combination of Slide with Cocoon for a possible development framework for our website. Something that fit into that model would be great.
Thank you for any information you can provide to assist with our research.
Tim
