Hi developers,

I've just noticed that Priha has gone some steps forward the last
couple of days.

First of all, I'm happy to read that obviously the JSR-170 versioning
feature will be used. Besides scalability, I think a JSR-170 backend
has another advantage, when looking at JSPWiki from the users' point
of view: The wiki content will be accessible to other content
applications in a uniform way. Not using the built-in versioning
feature, but creating a proprietary one, would mean delimiting the
uniform access possibility JSR-170 provides. An application which
wants to retrieve specific versions would then have to know some
implementation details about the proprietary way of versioning.

Another point I've been reading in the README file is that JNDI
support is an anti-goal. I'm not sure what is meant with this...
Getting a Repository object via JNDI is the only way which is
specified in JSR-170. When it comes to switching to another JSR-170
implementation, e.g. Jackrabbit, or connecting to a remote repository,
how do you want to request a Repository object without JNDI?

Third, the current package names are org.jspwiki.*. Since it will be
an Apache release, it would be good to already switch to the correct
package names now, I guess.

Overall, I think Janne's approach is really making large installations
possible without giving up JSPWiki's principles of being small and
simple. Very nice!

Best Regards,
 Florian
