Hi Jukka and welcome!
I think at this point there are a couple of directions graffito project may go (there were some
emails about its status and what people involved here are thinking about its future).
Unfortunately, I don't think this thread was public so that you can read it, but maybe Raphael or
somebody else can forward it to you.
Just to reconfirm my position: I am currently very busy with InfoQ.com, but I expect things to
settle out with the start of automn. Since building the InfoQ.com, I've been very interested in the
idea of a object2content mapping solution and the only one available at that moment was Graffito.
And I still believe it would be interesting to build such a tool. What I have disagreed on quite
from the beginning was about its embedding deep in the graffito project. And I would like to bring
it more to light. Unfortunately, for the moment this is only talk, and till I will have time to get
back to it I should refrain from commenting. Also I must confess I have on my list a couple of more
oss projects in which my involvement is quite active: TestNG (co-founder), WebWork/XWork
core-developer, so I will see in time if I can put more work on the mapping stuff.

Hi graffito-dev!
I just joined the mailing list after a long while of following the
project by the web site and the incubation status reports. I'm a
committer and the release manager of the Apache Jackrabbit project,
whom some of you already know from the Jackrabbit mailing lists.
I've been keeping an eye on Graffito as an approach of building
applications on top of the JCR API, and would like to help increase
the coupling between the Jackrabbit and Graffito communities. To do
this I'm volunteering to join Raphaël as a mentor of Graffito, of
course assuming that you'd have me as a mentor.
I'm not a long-time Apache veteran and have few contacts with the
Portals project, but I've got fresh hands-on experience from the
Jackrabbit project ranging from early days of it's incubation to
successful graduation. Along the way I touched virtually all parts of
the incubation process and a good number of other practices that
define the Apache Way. I'd love to share that experience with you.
BR,
Jukka Zitting
