Re: [Babeldoc-devel] On a brighter note (SFTP Scanner Impl) ...

[Dejan K. <dej...@ya...>]

David,
how difficult is to extend FtpScanner to use SFTP
protocol? In my opinion it would be better to have one
scanner with one or more new config options that would
enable SFTP support than having new Scanner with
similiar functionality... 

On Commons VFS, I really like that project and I am
hoping that it will leave sandbox soon. In fact, I had
plans to implement VfsScanner/pipeline stage that
would enable using one scanner/stage for all file
systems supported by Commons VFS.

I guess it is time for 1.3 CVS branch. Or this could
be included in 1.2? Anyway, I really think it is time
for you to become commiter! Bruce, we should put David
to developer list regardless his decision! ;-)  He can
say yes later!
