 Yes. Until now, http://planetezpublish.org/ is the feed aggregator. We are
 planning on surfacing this aggregator's feed on share.ez.no, under the blogs
 section. We can safely imagine subscribing the Zeta blog to this aggregator,
 in turn soon displayed on share.ez.no. What would you think ?

 Sounds great, you can just go ahead and start aggregating

  http://incubator.apache.org/zetacomponents/news.rss

 Done. Zeta stands high  proud at the top of the list, right-column :
 http://planetezpublish.org/ And posts are fed into the aggregated
 feed ( http://planetezpublish.org/rss/feed/rss20.xml )

Very cool, thanks! :)

Btw, you can have an apache blog by requesting it from jira

In this blog you have the chance for a preview and send the preview to

 actually, the current news section on the website is already a blog
 (WCV) but with the commenting and trackback functionality stripped,
 since we can only use static content.
 
 I agree that a full-featured blog would be nice.

after discussing this roughly with Kore and Derick, I came to a
different conclusion. By now we have a blog in our website integrated
which works well for publishing news and status updates. I don't think
we will have enough content to be published on a dedicated blog yet. And
opening one on blogs.a.o now would bring just another system to take
care of.

So, I think we should stick with the current solution.

Status update
=

It's been a while since Apache Zeta Components was `officially accepted for
incubation`__ in the Apache Software Foundation in May 2010. Since then, a lot
of progress has been made, especially in the area of technical infrastructure
and code drop. So, it's time to present the current status of the project and
ask you to actively take part in the community!

--
Infrastructure
--

There's been a lot of work on the technical infrastructure for Zeta. First off,
we have a `new SVN`__, which you should use from now on to obtain the Zeta
code. We did not role an official release, yet, mostly due to the fact that the
release process is right now in discussion, to be adjusted to ASF needs.

The project mandatory mailing lists have been set up. So, if you want to
contribute and take part in the community, please register for
`zeta-...@incubator.apache.org`__. If you are only using Zeta Components,
please use the `user mailinglist at zeta-u...@incubator.apache.org`__ to
discuss issues with other users. However, the developer mailinglist is also
open for questions and problems. If you want to be up to date on commits to the
SVN repository, you should subscribe to `zeta-comm...@incubator.apache.org`__
and if you want to help fixing bugs, please subscribe to
`zeta-iss...@incubator.apache.org`__.

Subscribing to any of the Zeta mailing lists is easy. Just send an empty email
to

::

zeta-*-subscr...@incubator.apache.org

so, for example for the dev list, email
`zeta-dev-subscr...@incubator.apache.org`__.

We also have a new `issue tracker`__, which you can use to file bugs.
Furthermore, there is a `code browser`__ which you can use to inspect our
source code without downloading it or checking it out from SVN.

-
Code drop
-

`eZ Systems AS`__ has performed the so-called *code drop*, which essentially
means that the complete eZ Components SVN history was sent to the ASF and a
contract was signed which completes the donation. Furthermore, Ole from eZ
Systems has performed license and copyright changes after the code was imported
to `our new SVN`__. So, the (now) Zeta Components code is from now on licensed
under the `Apache License 2.0`__. For you as a user, this does not change much,
since the Apache License is basically as permissive as the former New BSD
license was.

At this place, we want to seize the chance to thank eZ Systems a lot for
donating the eZ Components source code base to the ASF and therefore making
Apache Zeta Components possible.

-
Contributions
-

Quite some contributions to Apache Zeta Components are in discussion on the
developer mailinglist:

Jerome Renard and James Pic joined forces for providing an `overrider
mechanism`__ for the Configuration component. This technique should allow you
to specify multiple directories for configuration files (INIs) of which the
first contains default values and all further ones can override these defaults.
This is especially useful in large applications and for application modules.

Gustavo Solt from the PHProject__ team is implementing a `proof-of-concept for
CalDAV support`__ for the Webdav component. CalDAV is an extension to WebDAV,
which allows to synchronize calendars to a central server. CalDAV was already
in mind when the Webdav component was originally started a couple of years ago,
but time did not permit to implement it until now. Therefore, we are happily
looking forward to this contribution.

There are some more enhancements in discussion on the mailinglist, so please
subscribe there, if you want to take part in designing and/or implementing
those! Furthermore, we are actively looking for contributors. So, if you use
Zeta Components (or still eZ Components) and have a cool idea, found a bug or
just want to provide a helping hand, please subscribe to
`zeta-...@incubator.apache.org`__ and join our team!
