First of all thank you for having me in your midst.  I'll do my best to
participate in improving JackRabbit in co-operation. I've not been
that talkative either on the list, which is one of the points on my
to-be-improved-upon list. So a short introduction;  Relating to
JackRabbit i've been at Hippo to raise an extended repository
that includes workflow and some other specific features and to
build a CMS upon this.  Some of the stuff is tightly integrated in
JackRabbit code and it would be best if some of the ideas are
carried in some way into the shared code base.
Nearly all software I've wrote for the past 8-9 years has been
open-source and most things related to Apache projects.
To introduce me as a person, I'm dutch, 41yr, engaged, father
of two, and I've been hacking around since childhood.

For now, back to work and I go look what to commit first...
