Hi Roland
Thanks for your response.

My interest is in WebDAV enabling the filechooser in docx4all.
VFS has support for WebDAV. See
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/commons/proper/vfs/trunk/sandbox/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/vfs/provider/webdav/
There is a file chooser: http://vfsjfilechooser.sourceforge.net/
and also an SWT implementation: http://commons-vfs-ui.sourceforge.net/
VFS's WebdavFileObject imports org.apache.webdav, which is the Slide
client library.
So I'm still interested in the Slide client library, and I would like it
to remain alive, even though it probably won't need to change much (if
at all) until migration to HttpClient 4.0.

Bugzilla for Slide is still open. While it would certainly raise
some eyebrows if anyone started working on the trunk of a
retired project, I don't see why it should not be possible to
create a sandbox for the WebDAV client in the Slide repository.
As long as somebody's working there, we wouldn't lock the repository.
Jackrabbit probably wouldn't mind to get the Slide discussions
off their users list either ;-) Sooner or later, the activity
ceases or the project is taken to the Incubator. Then it is time
to lock the Slide repository.
It would take a leader who is a Jakarta committer to create the
sandbox, move the initial code, and apply patches if any are sent.
I am not a Jakarta committer. Any idea how we might find a sympathetic
one? Alternatively, what about the vfs sandbox?
kind regards
Jason
