Hi Les,

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 :)
Traditionally (in my experience), a product A that uses a product B is
represented by a page in product B's site that lists product A as
"powered by" product B.
Take a look: http://openjpa.apache.org/powered-by.html
And if product A wants to advertise that relationship, it is via a
"powered by" logo, i.e. : http://kinz.org/

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. On Shiro's front page:
*Are you using Shiro?*
Please consider adding yourself to the PoweredBy wiki page. By
letting
others know that you are using Shiro, you help expand the community
and in
turn improve Shiro. Win/Win!
2. Creation of a "powered by" wiki page for users to self report.
3. Once we have enough people self reports then we'd change the
front page
to like:
Who Uses Shiro?
A wide variety of companies and organizations use Shiro for both
internal
and external applications. Users are encouraged to add themselves
to the
Shiro PoweredBy <http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/PoweredBy> wiki page.
Best,
Alex
