[REPORT] Jackrabbit - March 2017

[Michael Dürig <md...@apache.org>]

## Description:
    The Apache Jackrabbit\u2122 content repository is a fully conforming
    implementation of the Content Repository for Java\u2122 Technology API
    (JCR, specified in JSR 170 and 283). The Jackrabbit content
    repository is stable, largely feature complete and actively being
    maintained.
    Jackrabbit Oak is an effort to implement a scalable and performant
    hierarchical content repository as a modern successor to the Apache
    Jackrabbit content repository. It is targeted for use as the
    foundation of modern world-class web sites and other demanding
    content applications. In contrast to its predecessor, Oak does not
    implement all optional features from the JSR specifications and it
    is not a reference implementation.

## Issues:
    There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.

## Activity:
    Apache Jackrabbit Oak receives most attention nowadays. All
    maintenance branches and the unstable development branch are
    continuously seeing moderate to high activity.

    Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of
    the work going into bug fixing and tooling. New features are mainly
    driven by dependencies from Oak.

    This quarter saw the 4th major release of Jackrabbit Oak (1.6).

    There is an ongoing effort to stabilise our continuous integration
    (Jenkins) infrastructure. The deployment of the Jira plug-in resulted
    in further insight and improvements. It also revealed that over 25%
    of the issues are caused by infrastructure problems rather than
    our project.

    The PMC is currently evaluating the impact of the recently published
    SHA-1 collisions on our products.

## Health report:
    The project is healthy with a continuous stream of traffic on all
    mailing lists reflecting the activity of the respective component.

    There is a wide range of topics being discussed on the dev and user
    lists as well as on the various JIRA issues.

    Commit activity was moderate to high this quarter with a plunge around
    the Christmas break.
