We're making great progress at Concord today.  I'll let the rest
report on what they've been working on.  I've been researching content
management, to choose a system we can ship PRP with.  Here's my
proposal,
  
http://www.telscenter.org/confluence/display/SAIL/Proposal+to+use+Jackrabbit+for+PRP

Basically, we go with Jackrabbit.  It doesn't do distributed
versioning, but I argue that we don't really need that.  We need
something that works quickly and easily, so developers can get going.
The CVS/Subversion model of versioning is familiar to people and has
worked for a long time, even if it has its weak points.

The major advantage of Jackrabbit/JCR over any DSCM is that it knows
the model of the stuff that's inside.  Our Jackrabbit can have nodes
and properties down to the object level.  In Bazaar hat would be
bizarre.

Also, there are object content mapping utilities that could make
authoring tools much easier to write.  If not for us, then for new
developers not acquainted with XMLEncoder or OTML.

I hope this gets a discussion started.  We need to ship PRP with a
versioned content management system for authoring.  So we need to
choose one in time to get it working.  We won't be committed to it
forever, and we're not talking about inclusion in sail-core yet.  Just
PRP.
