Hi Ralph, I use mostly vfs 1.0 in several projects (ServiceMix in the servicemix-vfs component, ACE/AutoDeploy, etc). I would like to contribute to VFS. I have some patches already available (around default FilesystemManager behavior and on the maven build).

I came into VFS after 2.0 was started. I've done quite a bit of work, mostly around fixing the build and integrating webdav support using Jackrabbit. There are still a large number of Jira issues that I simply don't have the time to look at . I've applied patches where they were provided and I could verify that they would work. As far as I can tell, 2.0 is pretty stable. I've attempted to start a release a couple of times but managed to forget my password for my code signing key, which makes it difficult to actually do a release. I guess I'll have to generate a new key. As for accepting new code, we are pretty open to contributions as long as they can use the Apache license and they are contributed under a CLA or software grant (see http://www.apache.org/licenses/). It would be best if they code actually came with people who would continue to work on it and help maintain it, as well as help with the existing code base.
