Legal
The license issue noted in the previous report (external party using our code without proper attribution) has been resolved.
We have been clarifying our LICENSE and NOTICE files based on recent discussions on legal-discuss@ and the incubating sling-dev@ mailing lists.
Community
Esteban Franqueiro and Alexander Klimetschek became committers and PMC members of Apache Jackrabbit.
Many members of our community attended ApacheCon EU and we also organized a free-for-everyone JCR community gathering along the conference.
Development
We are working towards Jackrabbit 1.5 in near future and Jackrabbit 2.0 (and the JSR 283 reference implementation) later on.
Infrastructure
We switched to Hudson for our CI builds.
We requested and got FishEye indexing for our codebase.
The svn.eu.apache.org mirror is much appreciated as most of our committers are based in Europe.
