Hi Lenya devs,
at the meeting in Freiburg there seemed to be a general agreement about
the benefits of migrating to JCR (1.0 or 2.0) as the content repository
for Lenya, from a technical and also from a marketing point of view. For
those who didn't attend the meeting: If you're interested in the
benefits we talked about, please ask and I will try to summarize them.
We have discussed this issue a lot of times in the past, but it hasn't
been addressed for quite some time. The situation regarding JCR
implementations has changed, and the Lenya community isn't the same as
three years ago, so I think it's worth starting the discussion again.
A certain caution is natural - and very important - when considering a
new technology:
1. Insufficient knowledge to evaluate pros and cons
2. Fear of insufficient knowledge for implementation and maintenance
3. Danger of creating a dependency
4. Danger of paralyzing the project because of a roadmap change
5. Danger of dividing the community due to different fundamental opinions
6. … (?)
I think we have to be aware of these - and presumably other - potential
issues, and consider them thoroughly. I'm currently doing some research
to be better able to assess the more technical issues 1 to 3. You'll
find my considerations and pointers to related resources in the Wiki.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I ask some questions on the Sling list
and probably on the Jackrabbit list, please feel free to join them if
you're interested.
The issues 4 and 5 are certainly even more important, but I have the
feeling that more knowledge re. 1-3 will help us to find out whether
it's worth committing ourselves, that is, the whole community, to JCR.
