Hi Hippo! Fromm y point of view it would be great if you would become a slide committer and could add patches to the sources directly. If you are interested, I would start a voting thread on this mailing list. I think most of your patches are very helpful for the slide community. One comment to your patches regarding the lucene-based search: If you use lucene directly to limit the results this might cause some trouble if you are using acl's. The acl's get evaluated after slide retrieves the search result from lucene. If you for example specify a limit of 10 results and the user executing the DASL-request has no permissions to read half of them, he would only get 5 files even if he specified to get 10. So it would be very helpful to have a configurable switch to select if you want to have a fast system (with the risk of wrong number of results) or a slower search with correct results. Why have you used JMS to notify cocoon? Have you had a look at the Notification abilities in the slide webdavlib?
