> I would like to be able to script scheduled events in an easy fashion that works just like the /etc/cron.d/ directory on my Linux server: I put a shell script into /etc/cron.d/daily and it will get executed once a day. In Sling terms this would mean having a node that takes nt:file scripts in any scripting language supported by sling that is executed on hourly, daily, weekly, monthly basis.

ACK.

Yeah, one of the key purposes of an issue tracker is to keep track of
issues even when nobody is actively working on them.

So, as long as there's a valid use case for a requested feature, and
it's neither already implemented in some other way nor outside the
scope of the project, I'd keep the issue open as a reminder.

BR,

I don't think that's a problem - it also helps to show what we think
can be improved in Sling.

Now, if noone is working on this stuff and if there is no patch, I
really doubt that
this issue will ever get done - and if someone comes up with something,
the issue can easily be reopened.

But I agree that we can also just change them to "wish" if people think
that this is the better way of handling this. But I really fear that we
end up with a lot of wishes over time :)

Sounds like a reasonable proposal to me. The same would then apply to
SLING-478 (Web Forms2), but probably not to SLING-255 (there is probably
no value with using Tika just for this case)

Can't we keep such issues open, with "Issue Type = wish" ?

When discussed, several folks agreed that it's a good idea, we just
don't have time to implement it now.
