Hi Gianugo,

I will try to answer your second question:

It is our intention to build a complete
content repository with all the features and 
functionalities that are necessary use the 
repository in real-life, not just a theoretical
RI. It is certainly our intention to create a
full-fledge repository which will hard to beat 
from a functional perspective, which means that
we will not just make sure that the RI will
pass the repository, but that it fullfill the
spec to its full extent, and beyond.

As you might have seen we already put features 
into the reference implementation that cannot
be specified in the jsr-170 spec but are 
necessary to operate a content repository 
in real life (like a nodetype definition api).

In my mind the Apache JCR Project (wherever 
it should end up) should be the first place to 
turn to, for any application developer that 
wants to start development with a Content 
Repository.

.. or JuiCeR ;)) ?

Thanks.
