Well, I may be close to "zero" - as I think I undertand jk a bit. But it's
certain the current jk is the result of many excelent contributors.
AFAIK mod_jk is probably the only piece of tomcat where development
continued after the original developer left, and the component of tomcat
with the _largest_ number of contributors. By far.
It's also ( AFAIK ) a piece of tomcat where the design happened on
tomcat-dev, where most changes are reviewed and discussed.
