Aloha,

As I assume by now many are aware there is a port of the JCR interfaces to PHP 
called PHPCR [1] and there is an implementation that uses Jackrabbit via Davex 
[2]. We also have a non Java implementation [3] but for more large scale 
deployments and for those needing a full implementation of the spec we suggest 
to use Jackrabbit. Getting PHP developers to setup a Java solution is still 
fairly hard, despite many using Solr/ElasticSearch nowadays, but the lack of 
good setup documentation and the fairly messy wiki don't help.

As a first step a PHPCR contributor put together some deployment docs for using 
Jackrabbit inside Tomcat with MySQL on our wiki (mainly because he doesnt have 
write access to the Jackrabbit wiki .. we are happy to move it over):
https://github.com/jackalope/jackalope/wiki/Running-jackrabbit-in-tomcat-with-mysql

But more generally I wonder if there are any plans to improve this situation. I 
have noticed that some of the projects using Jackrabbit have some good 
information as part of their docs. But its unfortunate that resources arent 
pooled here to provide a single coherent and up to date resource for 
documentation. And I think a wiki is actually not the right format for this.

regards,
Lukas
