Integration of Slide

Dear Group

Christian and I are currently working on a simple
Resource/Content Creator API for creating articles,
uploading images (including Rene and Thorsten's work), etc.

We kind of realized that Apache Slide is doing quite the same
and we actually think that it would be best to base stuff like
I mentioned above on Slide:

1) The goal of Slide is to provide a data abstraction layer
based on a Content Management API
2) Cocoon has already a Slide Source (Generator?) within the Scratchpad
3) Slide has implemented a WebDAV Servlet which would allow all WebDAV 
enabled Editors to access data managed by Wyona.

I wrote some stuff on a possible future architecture and some use cases 
for resource/content creation:

http://cvs.wyona.org:8080/wyona-cms/docs/xdocs/architecture.html
http://cvs.wyona.org:8080/wyona-cms/docs/xdocs/create-resource.html

Please see also the ascii "image" below

What do you think?

Thanks in advance for your feedback

Michael
