Walter,
If you've already invested a lot of resources into your current
direction it probably doesn't make sense to switch right now. I'm not
familiar with Tapestry or Projector, so I can't really compare them for
you. Maybe Daniel can give you a breakdown there.
What I can tell you is that the WebDAV API is easier to learn for a
developer, but since you're already this far into the project that point
is moot.

Re: New Committers Davide and Ryan

Hi James,
This comes from my developer. Perhaps this might help make some
clarification. It appears we have already gone too far down the road
developing the CMS GUI with Tapestry on top of Slide rather than use the
WebDAV with Slide. It appears that I would either need to keep
developing our GUI with Tapestry or switch over to WebDAV and
Projector. Here are his comments.
"So you mean to compare current approach (manually building CMS GUI with
using Tapestry on the top of Slide storage) and newly proposed approach:
use Projector GUI/CMS and Slide WebDAV. Specifically, we are writing
web GUI to set user permissions on files and documents, as engine (aka
"Model") is ready. Tapestry does not attempt to address workflow at
all. If we continue with current approach, we wouldl _build_ workflow,
using Tapestry as a tool to build web GUI. And Projector offers "ready
made" workflow support, and the question is "how easy can we use
Projector's workflow in BIG". It looks like Projector "framework" means
something different than Tapestry "framework"
The Slide Projector is a process based web framework that was designed
to build complex applications on top of Slide or any other
WebDAV-compliant repository. Projector is part of Slide since the 2.1
beta release. It features:
* WebDAV based rendering framework
* Separation of concerns
* Contract based programming paradigm
* Synchronous, asynchronous and nested workflows
* Event driven workflows
* Content type aware templating
* HTML form generation and validation
* Table and tree rendering
* Application handling including deployment at runtime and
application dependencies
* Works with Slide and Microsoft Exchange"

Walter,
Unfortunately I really can't comment on Projector. You'll need Daniel to
give you information about how that will meet your needs.
Looking at your other requirements I think Slide 2.1 will be a good fit
for you, though. For search, Slide will index most of the file types you
mentioned, and I believe Lucene has a contribution that will index at
least one more. Slide can provide your audit trail, notifications of
changes and the lock/unlock cycle. There should be no barriers for your
collaboration requirements, but most of those features will need to be
built on top of Slide.
Since you mention contributing this effort to the community, I think it
would be great to build a package of applications that run in the
Projector framework. The collaboration features in particular interest
me, but to be honest I'd be happy with pretty much anything :).
Hope this helps.

James,
I would ask you the same question as Daniel. You have seen our
requirements below for our Phase II work and if you think that we should
focus our development efforts with Projector on a specific set of
requirements, I would like to instruct our developers to work in that
area so it can be contributed to the Projector framework efforts.
I'm leaving for meetings out of town today and will be back later this
afternoon/evening.
Best,
Walt.

I can understand the confusion :). Please feel free to contribute in the
customer-user mode if that's what you're comfortable with. I think it's
important to get feedback and contributions from as wide a range of
people as possible. If you can suffer through the code discussions there
are occasionally posts from people only interested in the out-of-the-box
functionality that Slide provides. We usually get one or two of those
day (heavy traffic, huh?).
We really don't want to exclude anybody, and this is the appropriate
forum for the kind of information exchange you're after. Unfortunately,
this is also the only place we have developer-users so it can get a bit
crowded with code sometimes.

Hi James, thanks for the comments. In hindsight I was thinking user was
sort of like customer-user, rather than developer-user. Now I can see
the difference after the past 10 days or so watching the threads. I'm
not a developer of code, but more a customer who would drive
functionality. However, I recently learned that a lot of the
customers-users are large corporations who use the code for their own
operations and software development, so they pay their employees (who
are developers) to participate in the open source development. This way
they get more than one mind working on code for their own projects. I
understand recently these are sort of corporate sponsors for an open
source project.
Thus, I can see where the forum is really set up for software
developer-users that can ask good questions on technical
code/integration/implementation issues where I would be a customer
looking at open source solutions. Slide and Tapestry both were
implemented in our first Phase of development so I subscribed to both
user lists to learn what the customer-users were saying, and can see
that these threads are really not set up for customers, per se, but
mainly for developer-users. I hope this makes sense...I'm still a
little fuzzy myself! :)
Thanks again for the reply.
Walt.

Re: New Committers Davide and Ryan

Walter,
What exactly are you looking for in "users" list? The majority of the
users interested in Slide seem to also be java developers, so a lot of
the questions on this list are related to using the Slide webdav client
libraries. A lot of bug reports come through the list as well. Some
people seem to find it easier to send an email than file a bug report on
bugzilla. Go figure :).
Also, I believe the majority of Slide's developers are also users. I
know I am. I wouldn't be able to devote much time at all to the project
if I wasn't actively using the code. Also, while I haven't been a member
of the project for very long, I've been very impressed by the openness
and willingness of the developers to get involved with helping users
with problems. Personally, I think that's a strength of the project.
What is it about the user's list that you weren't expecting? Maybe we
can help you find what you're looking for.

Can someone please tell me if this email thread for users or just for
developers? I signed up for the users, not the developer section in
after the past 10 days or so I only see comments from developers. Can
someone tell me where the user section is so that I can get some
cooperative commentary for users only? Does such a thread exist?
