Hi All,
this thread has been dormant for the last month or so. If somebody thinks we
should not update the home page with this content pls speak up otherwise I will
push the update.
I think this new content looks great (it has all your comments already in) and
we should have it out there the sooner the better.
Here is the text
=======================================
Welcome to Apache Geronimo
The goal of the Geronimo project is to produce a server runtime framework that pulls together the best Open Source alternatives to create runtimes that meet the needs of developers and system administrators.
Our most popular distribution is a fully certified J2EE 1.4 application server runtime. We are working on our next version of the server which is based on Java EE 5.
Some of our guiding principles are:
- Easy to use.
- Build servers that are distributed under the Apache Software License.
- Provide runtimes that meet the needs of developers, administrators and system
integrators.
- Integrate with the best open source tooling available like Eclipse.
- Provide frequent releases of our software so users can experience the newest
features and have access to the latest bug fixes.
- Build a community that incorporates multiple disciplines required to create
complex runtime and toolable infrastructure.
=======================================
Cheers!

Welcome to the Apache Geronimo Project!
Our goal is to produce a server runtime framework that pulls together
the best Open Source alternatives to create runtimes that meet the
needs of developers and system administrators. Our most prominent
runtime is a fully compliant J2EE container based on J2EE 1.4. We are
working on our next version of the server which is based on JEE 1.5.
Some of our guiding principles are:
- Build servers that are distributed under the Apache Software License.
- Provide runtimes that meet the needs of developers, administrators
and system integrators.
- Integrate with the best open source tooling available like Eclipse.
- Provide frequent releases of our software so users can experience
the newest features and have access to the latest bug fixes.

Hey Matt,
It looks a whole lot better from what we have today. Here is my little
rephrasing (including the comments from Jeff and Joe)

btw, shouldn't we mention "easy to use" somewhere? ;-)
