Sebb, Sorry for any confusion. I used the normal announce template that we always use, except the paragraph that normally explains what NiFi is:
"Apache NiFi is an easy to use, powerful, and reliable system to process and distribute data. Apache NiFi was made for dataflow. It supports highly configurable directed graphs of data routing, transformation, and system mediation logic." was replaced with: "The Apache NiFi NAR Maven Plugin helps to build NiFi Archive bundles (NARs) to support the class loader isolation model in NiFi." I thought this made sense because the release being announced was not a release of Apache NiFi itself, but a release of Apache NiFi's NAR Plugin, so I was trying to describe the thing being released. Going forward we can definitely include the description of NiFi when releasing the NAR plugin.
