Hermod -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Martin Cooper Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2006 12:11 AM To: announcements@struts.apache.org; user@struts.apache.org; Struts Developers List Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shale to Become Top-Level ASF Project On behalf of the ASF Board and Struts PMC, we are pleased to announce that Shale has been accepted as a top-level project of the Apache Software Foundation. As a top-level project, Shale will have its own website, mailing lists, repository space, and Project Management Committee. Shale will be an automomous ASF project, rather than a subproject of Apache Struts. The Shale framework for JavaServer Faces is nearing its first stable release. As a top-level project, it will be easier for Shale to attract new developers and expand its growing community. The initial set of PMC members and committers for Shale is: * Craig McClanahan * James Mitchell * Greg Reddin * Sean Schofield * Wendy Smoak * Gary VanMatre * Matthias Wessendorf Apache Shale has strong ties to both the Struts and MyFaces projects. Most of the Shale PMC members are already involved in both projects, and plan on continuing to remain involved in them, along with Shale. Apache Shale is a modern web application framework, intended for developers adopting JavaServer Faces as a core technology. Shale began as a proposal for Struts 2.0, but instead became a subproject, so as to provide a JSF alternative for Struts developers. Recent developments for Struts Action 2 now make it easier for Struts developers to access JSF components from within an "action-based" application. The initial Shale codebase was donated by Craig McClanahan, who also donated the original Struts codebase. -- Martin Cooper PMC Chair, Apache Struts * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This email with attachments is solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
