+1, good idea!

It might be worthwhile to post a message on the Jackrabbit user mailing list.
Let them know what we have in mind, and see if they
have any suggestions. Previous experience has shown that Apache sister projects
are very helpful in integration efforts.

Hi Scott,
jep that's sounds like a plan. In my opinion concentrating
on Jackrabbit

We should make some Jira Tasks and schedule them that we
can start
implementing ASAP :-). Did we need a separate Brunch?
Cheers
