Thanks Dave for pointing out something that was
bothering me as well.
My company has to design and develop an application to
serve as a document repository for a small
governmental istitution together with some workflow
functionality.
By now I have two choices:
1. JackRabbit
2. Slide
Since the application requirements could be fulfilled
by any reliable document repository which exposes a
webdav/deltav interface.
And there comes the question...
why the two projects splitted up ?
what is in the future of the slide project ?
are the developers and users of the slide project
going to migrate to jackrabbit ?
When is the first release of jackrabbit planned ?
I would thank anyone that could shed some light on
this topic, which in the end is about evaluating the
risk of choosing a platform to start a project from.
Thanks
