Apache Jackrabbit : Board Report June 2016

Report from the Apache Jackrabbit committee [Michael Dürig] June 2016, (submitted 2016-06-08)

## 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 Oak sub-project is an effort to implement a 
   scalable and performant hierarchical content repository for use as 
   the foundation of modern world-class web sites and other demanding 
   content applications. In contrast to the initial implementation
   Oak does not implement all optional features from the JSRs and
   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 high activity. This quarter saw the third 
   major release of Oak (1.4). 

   Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of 
   the work going into bug fixing and tooling.

   A XSS vulnerability was discoverd and fixed. See

   on all mailing lists reflecting the activity of the respective
   component / sub-project. 
   Commit activity is high as we just entered a new release cycle. 
   The oak-dev list is seeing some interesting and controversial 
   discussions.
