Antwort an: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I apologize if this is not the proper venue for this, but I was unable
to find a better place to send this.
I have a simple request. Many of us who are subscribed to the
Apache announce list are actively using only a couple of the projects
under the Apache umbrella (in my case, only httpd). It would be
extremely useful if, when announcements such as the following are
sent, that a short description of the project in question be
included. This might incite readers to investigate other projects
than just the ones they currently use.
In the example below, adding a paragraph like this to the end would
help (extracted from the turbine home page):
Turbine is a servlet based framework that allows experienced Java
developers to quickly build secure web applications. Turbine is an
excellent choice for developing applications that make use of a
services-oriented architecture. Some of the functionality provided
with Turbine includes a security management system, a scheduling
service, XML-defined form validation server, and an XML-RPC service
for web services. The Turbine core is free of any dependency on a
presentation layer technology. Both JavaServer Pages (JSP) and
Velocity are supported inside Turbine. For developers already
familiar with JSP, or have existing JSP tag libraries, Turbine
offers support for the Sun standard.
A static blurb like this could be created for each project and added
as boilerplate to the end of announcements concerning that project.
Thank you for listening, and thanks again for providing a structure
to nourish the development of these projects.

The Jakarta Turbine team is pleased to announce the release of the
next
version of the Turbine Web Application Framework:
Jakarta Turbine 2.3
===================
The CVS tag for this version is TURBINE_2_3
The branch tag for maintenance versions is TURBINE_2_3_BRANCH
You can find a list of changes here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2.3/changes.html
Source and binary distributions for JDK 1.3.1 and JDK 1.4.2 are
available from the apache mirror system or from
http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/turbine/
Some Notes
* Turbine 2.3 no longer supports WebMacro, Freemarker or Castor
* Turbine 2.3 is the first release to consequently use commons-logging
and commons-configuration to remove the need for its own logging and
resource services
* Turbine 2.3 can load and use Avalon Components with the Avalon
Service
* The Templating engine at the core of Turbine has been completely
overhauled and is now much more flexible and stable. However, this
comes
at the price that using "/" for template separators is no longer
possible (This is a major change from our previous versions).
* Turbine 2.3 uses maven as its primary build tool. Building with
Eclipse is possible but not officially supported. Building with ant
only
is no longer supported.
The Turbine team really would like to thank all the contributors,
users
and members of the development and user list that helped with
comments,
patches and critisism to make this the best Turbine release yet. The
announcement author would also like to thank the Torque team because I
stole the layout of the announcement from you. ;-)
Regards
Henning
