Well, it's hard to help you know if it's a good fit without knowing what
you're trying to develop :) But of course this might be something you're
not at liberty to discuss ?
The recent 0.9 release and the quite active mailing list suggests that the
project is healthy and moving towards a stable release.
Yes there is a lot of interest in Jackrabbit, especially in Switzerland
:) I think that Jackrabbit is a fascinating new project, and it seems
that a lot of developers gather around this idea.
We realize there are no guarantees with free software, but how risky would
you guys say it would be to use 0.9 in a production environment?
Naturally, we aren't talking nuclear reactor content management. ;-)
Is there a roadmap / planned shipping date for the 1.0 release? Again, no
guarantees expected, just general idea.
If we do choose jackrabbit we will of course try to be good citizens,
contributing whatever we can.
Actually one of the first ways to contribute is to test it and if you
see limits with the implementation, to contribute improvements, etc.
