I'm fine with just supporting Oak in 7 but I think there is some work left to be on par with Jackrabbit 2. If we stick to Jackrabbit 2 for 7 we should downgrade to 2.6 or upgrade to 2.8 as 2.7 is an unstable branch, no? > Then there are things like OCM which we don't really support - so why ship > it? Because people ask for it. Same for other bundles like Freemarker and Groovy templating. If we don't support bundles we should clearly state it and move them to contrib. > And I guess there is more A roadmap (wiki page?) with milestones for (a) next release(s) would really be helpful as one can spend spare cycles to work on more important tasks - e.g. using Service User Mapping in JCR Server et al. Also we should use a common set of bundles in our (integration) tests to verify that everything is working with the bundle list from launchpad. My goals for a first *Karaf* Launchpad release are a current released JCR Server (whether Jackrabbit or Oak) and getting the Event bundle fixed (not sure what's the cause for a failing IT yet).
