• Evaluation of OSGi : there are a whole bunch of good things that OSGi would bring us, but right now, there's also a lack of ready-made frameworks/tools/libraries for webapp. We'd have to change way too much things in Magnolia to get it working. See OSGi notes.

Mercury

Main principles or goal remain the same, but Mercury is now called Aether (complete rewrite afaict, so examples below are probably useless)

• We could re-use (part of) the Maven infrastructure. This might be particularly interesting since our builds already deploy to Maven repositories; The current effort is going into "Mercury", which as far as I understand, will be a foundation block for Maven 3:
