So would you be able to take ownership for these components?
Er... yeah, sorta... ;-)
OK: go ahead and give that to me. I'll see what I can do shortly :-)
WebDAV support: I'd like to see if the guy who came up with xincon might be interested in joining efforts and maybe donate his codeThe only thing that concerned me a bit with that, is it's a ground up webdav impl. We already have two Java webdav impls available so building on one of those would seem to be the preferred route. Of course, XinCon already works which is pretty handy.
See my next replies for this.
Security System: here I have some ideas to spare about integration with AAA schemes, encryption and more.
User/System Meta-data support: you know how I like this issue ;-)
Yeah, I'd be happy for you to take ownership of that too. :-) To start we need to figure out what we want to expose in the new network API. Do have any suggestions on that?
Actually I think there is a *major* issue that we must address before digging into these subjects: we have to draw a line and understand that can/should be discussed here and what should be an XAPI effort. I'd say that the whole metadata stuff should be brought to the attention of xapi-dev and the like, while Xindice should only focus on the implementation side. Same goes for security as far as architectural questions like granularity and ways to express access levels are the subject.
What about this?
