There was some discussion during the last release about a NIO-compatible version of VFS. This raised a few questions in my mind.
1. Is there a branch where this work should start? 2. Are there any specific API proposals, if so where are they (or will they) be documented? Would there be branches with specific proposal code, or a wiki? 3. Does anyone have an "out of the gate" proposal? A proposed file system implementation that they're willing to contribute/collaborate on? Preferably something that's easy to test without additional server setup. Perhaps a db-based file system that could use java db? 4. How would the code be organized? Would each implementation have to have its own repo? If so, this might slow down initial API development. And you always run into the danger that any API changes you make break implementing code. 5. Has anyone considered support for virtual roots in file system URLs? Like "home://", "documents://", "music://", etc. Cheers, Mark
