How about SSH and FTP? The reason I ask...
I was thinking a good way to start growing would be to look within Apache for people who you could work with, beyond those already involved from Directory. commons-net and commons-httpclient spring to mind, as does the incubating FTPServer. Your mention of XML-HTTP and SOAP widens that a whole lot too :) For SSH, we currently depend on Jsch on the client side pretty heavily. It's BSD licensed, but from what I can tell there are not many developers on it (maybe just 1) and there is no server side offering which would be really handy. If it makes sense, I know of others who'd be interested in collaborating on that including myself, though interested != has available time, of course :( Just some additional thoughts.
