Sounds good to me - something showing prospective users that there is growing community only helps adoption, which in turn continues to benefit the community.
But should it be called 'powered by'? That might sound like things that are used within Shiro instead of the other way around (i.e. 'Shiro is powered by ..."). Maybe calling it 'Adoption' or something similar would be better? But in the end, I don't really have a preference one way or the other :) Les On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 6:56 PM, Alex Salazar <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I think it would be valuable for Shiro's credibility in the eyes of > potential new users to have a "powered by" page similar to Hadoop. > > Does anyone have an issue with creating such a page? > > Here's what I propose specifically: > > 1.
