[REPORT] Jackrabbit - March 2019

[Michael Dürig <md...@apache.org>]

## Description:
  The Apache Jackrabbit™ content repository is a fully conforming
  implementation of the Content Repository for Java™ 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.

We made our 5th major release of Oak (1.10) in January.

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.

We are currently discussing a new release strategy for Oak. The aim is to
facilitate managing our many branches, releasing of tools and aligning with
Oracle's changes in their release and support model for Java. See
https://s.apache.org/oM0w, https://s.apache.org/0UKO and
https://s.apache.org/tk9u on oak-dev for details.

## 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 is moderate to high mirroring the activity on the JIRA 
issues
and the desire of the individual contributors to bring the features in 
for Oak
1.10.
