Hello again, Niclas. Regarding the blog post, may I suggest that you open a JIRA ticket for Infra to create blogs.apache.org/polygene --also be sure to request publishing credentials so you can actually get the post up <g> I'll be referring to it in the press release as a technical fact sheet, and will forward the revised draft once completed. Kind regards, Sally
