i didn't mean 'sponsor' in the sense defined by the incubator.
what i meant was: who is willing to pay the time a developer
spents on writing the missing part of the jackrabbit webDAV
client? or, alternatively, who is willing to spent his/her
leisure to time on that?

that's what is really required for without there will be not
a single developer actively working on the client.
and: i'd like to see that happen first in the jackrabbit
community, which is quite active.

best regards
