We can expect that others will be interesting to contribute. Futhermore, it is certainly possible to start with a very simple version and add more and more features. Can we based this work on the following proposal [1] ? What about the UI framework to use ? A JCR Explorer will require advanced UI widgets and I'm wondering which framework will be the more appropriate, Dojo ? Gwt ? Extjs ? .... ? :-( I have a prototype with Extjs but It is certainly not compatible with the ASF license.
