Hi,
But Jackrabbit is no longer in the incubator phase :-)
i'll try to get more information before hitting 'svn ci'.
The incubator ip-clearance page isn't about projects but specifically for code
donations for an established project, so for use-cases like this one.
Basic thing is following the steps and submit an ip-clearance form template [1].
The instructions indicate you should provide a source archive containing the
donated code first (with a checksum), have it voted upon by the project PMC
(before or after the ip-clearance) and only thereafter can do an 'svn ci' ...
It might be worthwhile to read the recent thread on [email protected] on
"[IP CLEARANCE] BigCouch" [2] about some wrong wording in the before mentioned
form template [1] concerning copyright transfer (which is incorrect).
Especially responses [3] and [4] are useful. Note that it only concerns the
template (so applicable here too), NOT the donation for BigCouch.
The BigCouch ip-clearance submission [5] might be helpful as an example too.
Success and looking forward to the donation!

I was wondering what the status for this is?
being buried in day-to-day work the last months, I just now
completed
the preparation for the contribution. I need one or 2 more days to
find the best way for contributing (e.g. big patch vs. direct SVN
commits).
Since this is an existing code base: wouldn't we need proper
IP-clearance [1] ?
For something as substantial as this, I would think yes.
