Lenya User Meeting at RMLL, Bordeaux

This year the Apache Lenya User and Developer Meeting took place place from July 7 to 11 during the RMLL (Rencontre Mondiale du Logiciel Libre) conference in Bordeaux, France. The participants presented some very interesting topics and discussed the future of the Lenya project. Important keywords on the wishlist for the next major version are scalability, JCR-based back-end, "Web 2.0" features, enterprise-level architecture, improved user experience. The participants agreed that the file-system-based back-end should be replaced with a mature out-of-the-box solution. JCR would align us with the current trends in enterprise-level content-centric applications. Andreas Hartmann was leading the discussion about the 3.0 architecture of Lenya.

Florent André was speaking about the IKS early adopters workshop. One of the main challenges of the IKS project is to provide a reference architecture for semantically enabled CMS. Lenya's structured, validating content model and XML processing capabilities provides a strong basis for the storage and processing of semantic data.
