Ah good. Thanks Filip. Excellent point. So:
--- begin board report text --- One of the Lokahi committers (Steve Toback) attended ApacheCon, along with other community members from Merck. Initial draft of Lokahi's data model for the proposed switch to a Jackrabbit back-end was worked out with input from Jackrabbit community (Jukka Zitting). Steve presented at FastFeather track (15-min sessions) & gave an short overview of what Lokahi does and what it currently supports. Discussed possibilities for using Lokahi to manage Geronimo servers as well. An initial roadmap of features has been planned, and development will be moving in the direction of the new roadmap. The conversion to JCR takes first priority because it will mitigate existing difficulties that hinder community-growing, namely: (a) Oracle as db requirement, which reduces the potential user "market"; (b) inability to run Lokahi on a standalone machine, due to (a); (c) complicated build process, partially due to (a); And JCR will provide the following benefits: (a) database independence (run Lokahi with a file system backend to try it out, or use a more robust storage platform for production) + embedded Derby db (b) lower barrier to contribution, see (a) (c) versioned objects -- the basis for storing versioned configuration files & foundation for a future "undo" feature requested by users. Great for real-world use in regulated environments which require detailed audit trails of who-changed-what-and-when. --- end board report text --- anything else?
