Slide has a lot more features than mod_dav, but it is a bit more 
complicated. Depending on your needs mod_dav might be perfectly fine.

The documentation is a bit slim, but mostly when it comes to extending 
Slide (implementing custom Stores, things like that).

It would be great if you could do this. The Tomcat bundle download is 
pretty straight forward but the webapp download can be a pain to get 
running with authentication.

If you look at the <data> section of Domain.xml you'll see where the 
default data is located. Three users are created under /users, three 
default roles are created under /roles, the basic actions are created 
under /actions, some versioning things are setup, an empty /files node 
is created and some basic permissions are granted so that the default 
users can get things done.

I'm not sure I understand this question. With the default setup using 
any webdav client you can log in as root, john or john2 and start 
issuing MKCOL commands under /files to create new collections.
