over and over again. This JackRabbit-Implementation, will it allow to store
files in the file-system rather than in the DB? What about, ie., the
photo-album feature, will it still work when the fotos are stored in the
file-system?
I am afraid I must also raise my hand, even both hands!, again and

looking for help to understand the whole thing! :-) I am far from being
able to answer your question on a solid basis, but read this extracted
from Jackrabbit FAQ at

*What is a Jackrabbit file system?*
A Jackrabbbit file system (FS) is an internal component that implements
standard file system operations on top of some underlying storage
mechanism (a normal file system, a database, a webdav server, or a
custom file format). A file system component is any Java class that
implements the FileSystem interface and the associated behavioral
contracts. File systems are used in Jackrabbit both as subcomponents of
the persistence managers and for general storage needs (for example to
store the full text indexes).

So, it seems to me that Jackrabbit is a kind of overall layer that
doesn't mind what in the hell it has under it. And a "normal" file
system is one of the options. So, I guess any application running now on
XWiki will keep working, or must keep running, it this or any other
content stored is adopted to held future XWiki development.
By the way, are you following xwiki-devs? See this...

And Jira Issues are also of great help trying to understand what is
going on within XWiki. Just in case you have not gone there yet...
http://jira.xwiki.org
As far as I can perceive, this is a hot topic in XWiki.
