Agreed, and I think we could do a better job of encouraging more
contributions "around" the engine as a way to get started with Derby.
Examples are:

Telnet access - I was working with Apache James and they use telnet
for remote admin, login and then issue statements like
adduser fred pass92word
Seems like a telnet access to a database would be cool, using ij as the
scripting language, e.g.
telnet derbyhost:2253
<user/password stuff>
ij> select * from my table;
...
Since James does this in Java it has to be possible for Derby, and then
one could access a Derby database without installing java or derbyools
on your client. I looked at the James code quickly, but didn't see the
code for the telnet server.
This is an interesting idea - although I'm a bit worried about the
inherent security deficiencies of telnet. I guess it depends on which
use cases this tool/feature is designed for.
I found the James telnet (Remote Manager) source at
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/james/server/trunk/src/java/org/apache/james/remotemanager/
