should change it to include 2002. However the start date is determined by
when the project actually started/was donated to Apache - so many of the
newer ones will be 2001-2002

It should be the longest duration at which it has been continuously developed
and owned by Apache. So most projects will be one of
1999-2002
2000-2002
2001-2002
However some projects were mothballed and if we ever restarted work on them
we would have to do something like
1999-2000,2002 (for stylebook for instance)
