Hi, folks. I'm a member of the board of directors, following up on some earlier 
conversations.

There was some mention, in recent board reports, that perhaps Forrest might 
move to the Attic - that is, retire as an Apache project (Read more about the 
attic at http://attic.apache.org )

I had encouraged the PMC (project management committee) to discuss this on this 
list - the dev list - in order to notify you, the users and developer 
community, that the project might be going away. This, we hope, might spur a 
few of you into action to keep the project alive, and rejuvenate the 
development of the project and community.

However, I see that there has been no discussion, of any kind, on this lists, 
for several months.

So, this is just trying to see if there's an active community out there 
anywhere, and possibly anybody that might step up and resume work on the 
project, or if you're all content to have the project slip into the sunset.

--Rich, for the Board of Directors
