we don't have a formal release plan/mgmt yet. 

the next version of the jsr 170 specification (the JCR api) available 
to the public will be the proposed final draft (which we hope to have 
ready by the end of the year). you can find more information on 
jsr 170 here: http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=170

the idea is to have jackrabbit feature complete (i.e. implementing all 
mandatory and optional features defined by the jsr 170 spec) 
shortly after the proposed final draft of the jsr 170 spec has been 
released (i.e. around jan/feb 05).

you can see a live demo here: http://jsr170tools.day.com
this is a webfrontend for jackrabbit.

currently the major features not yet implemented are locking & 
jaas support.

that's something that needs to be discussed in the community.
primary focus will certainly be a complete implementation of the 
jsr 170 spec (incl. all 'optional' features).

cheers
stefan
