I was going to write "or point people to Sling" as a joke, but thinking about it it might actually be useful to point people to [1] and [2] as an alternative to learn about JCR concepts or to play with Jackrabbit. Something like "if you want to try Jackrabbit with little programming, or using scripting languages, we recommend having a look at Sling, a related project which provides a scriptable RESTful application layer on top of Jackrabbit." The problem ATM is that Sling is not released, so people have to build it using Maven, which can be painful. But we're expecting a release Real Soon Now. -Bertrand [1] http://incubator.apache.org/sling/ [2] http://incubator.apache.org/sling/site/discover-sling-in-15-minutes.html
