These snippets, and the similarities between Jackrabbit's storage and
databases, make me think that collaborating with other projects might
help...I'm no expert on database internals, but has someone compared
Jackrabbit's persistence requirements with Derby's, or with those of
another Java-based database?
I actually did discuss with some Derby people about such potential
co-operation during the last ApacheCon US in Austin, but nothing
really did come out of that so far.
On the other end of the spectrum there also seems to be some interest
within Lucene to bring their persistence model closer to a "database"
model. I think there might be some nice convergence (see [1] for more)
ahead and it would be way cool if we could achieve something like that
in cooperation with other projects.

If the requirements match reasonably well, it might make sense to
collaborate with others, and maybe even create reusable "Java
persistence" components in a separate or sub-project?
Do you have some good forum in mind for initiating such discussions,
or should we just start pinging other projects to gauge interest?
