The original QuiXplorer project [1] seems abandoned, since the last beta 
is from October 2008. That beta version shows up in security advisories 
(one of them see [2]), so it would not be wise to use this code for the 
extension.

One could ask the question if such 3rd party abandonware should be used 
for a new TYPO3 extension.

Maybe it would be nice to build an extension which could form the new 
file manager (if DAM is not installed) and (with extra options) the new 
quixplorer replacement for admins?
