[Building Sakai] Resources Access via Database

[Adam Marshall]

Cambridge did some work a while ago integrating Sakai 2.5 (?) with a JSR 168 repo (Jackrabbit) and I think they also integrated with DSpace around the same time.  I would have thought their work would be useful to build upon.

Would it make sense to look at what the OAE crew are doing about underlying repos so that any work is future-proofed?
