1/ Jena has a GSoC project just getting under way, hoping to add spatial
query to the RDF query language, SPARQL.
2/ There has been a contribution of website redesign which is gathering
a lot of support.
3/ The developer community is dealing with one module, SDB (RDF query
over SQL databases), that has up to now been released sporadically and
separately.
The last release managed to get the necessary 3 +1's but the module
receives very little in the way of contributions from the whole
community. The committers (who don't use it) have kept it working as
the main codebase changes.
The current plan is to include in the main release on a maintenance
basis on the understanding that any architectural changes to the main
system may cause it to be dropped unless active contributors emerge.
