* Resources
Resources has been promoted out of the Sandbox and into Commons Proper.
This component has been around, and has been stable, for some time now. A 1.0
release is anticipated in the near future.
* Tapestry

* Tomcat
+ Tomcat reached a significant milestone with the first stable release of
the 5.5 branch, v5.5.4.
+ The release has been well-received, with only a small number of bug
reports, especially given the
+ magnitude of the changes from Tomcat 5.0.x.
+
+ Work continues on the 5.0.x branch in maintenance mode, fixing
significant bugs as well as any
+ security, Spec-compliance, and showstopper issues as always. The 5.0.30
release was cut near the
+ end of November, addressing the vast majority of open 5.0.x issues.
+
+ Older branches of Tomcat (3.x, 4.x), are practically at end-of-life
support. There are no planned
+ releases for them at this time, although individual Tomcat committers may
continue working on the
+ code base.
+
+ The Tomcat connectors have also been active, led by Mladen Turk's
efforts. Mod_jk2 is officially
+ at end-of-life as well: while a worthy experiment, its design proved too
fragile, resulting in
+ numerous significant bugs. Maintenance and improvements continue on the
original mod_jk, as well
+ as joint work with httpd developers on a new mod_proxy extension slated
for inclusion in the 2.1
+ versions of Apache httpd.
+
+ There has been significant effort by the Tomcat developers and members of
the community to shore up
+ documentation, both in the Tomcat-proper (i.e. part of our CVS), and in
our FAQ, Wiki, and external
+ resources. We've seen a demonstrated reduction in the
documentation-related complaints and
+ questions over the past couple of months, and intend to continue working
in this area.

* Turbine
Turbine is working towards a new major release, 2.4 which will be based on
a componentized architecture. A second milestone is expected in December. The
first components from the Fulcrum repostitory have been voted and released.
