Hi Ralph,
these are good news! Some comments inline...

I believe vfs is OK (and overdue) for a 2.0 release. I started to do it but
after getting a key signed at ApacheCon in Oakland I managed to forget the
password. I need to create a new signing key for myself to be able to do it.
Then it is just a matter of finding the time and learning the process.
I have not yet done a maven 2-based release either. However, I think
documentation about the release process is permanently improving. See
also the recent thread about using Nexus.
I don't know if you have built the documentation for Configuration 1.7 but I
made significant changes to it do document the new things I added. If you
believe things are missing or unclear let me know and I'll add them. We've
created a configuration editor that uses the Configuration API to edit files
stored in a WebDAV repository and it works well. I believe the interfaces are
stable, at least in the 1.x branch. As we work on the experimental branch we
may choose to clean up how CC integrates with files overall.
Just had a look at the recent documentation, and it looks fine to me. I
had asked about the stability of the interfaces because I had the
impression that functionality is a bit mixed between ConfigurationUtils
and FileSystem. Maybe in this area a clearer separation could be
achieved, but I can also live with the current state.
FWIW, we had intended on donating the editor as well, but the author left the
company and wasn't going to have time to work on it here so I've held back on
that for now.
This would certainly be a good addition. But it could also be added to a
later release.

It has been a long time since the last release of [configuration], and their
have been numerous fixes in the mean time. So I think we really ought to get
out Configuration 1.7.
The dependency to [vfs] 2.0-SNAPSHOT is a blocker, so this would have to be
released first. What is the status here?
Are there other issues?
How about the file system stuff? This is really a cool new feature because it
addresses an actual weakness of the library: locating configuration files in a
configurable manner. But I am not sure whether it is already mature - maybe
documentation could be improved, and are the interfaces stable?
