[Building Sakai] Sakai 3 and WebDAV or other mass file upload options

[Speelmon, Lance Day]

Keli,

Sakai 3's WebDAV implementation is maintained as part of the JackRabbit project and we have hopes that it will remain more compatible over time as theoretically those folks have more energy to invest in WebDAV development. Only time will tell for sure...  Best, L

Do you mean to say that Sakai 3 is built in a way that it's likely to remain compatible with the latest Windows release, like windows 7 (or by the time we adopt, maybe Windows 8), or just that the current iteration works well with current Windows and Mac OS versions when it comes to WebDAV but may need to release Sakai 3.1, 3.2 when those OS have a new release? I'm not sure if those situations are as distinct.
