FWIW, I'd suggest leading with the closing paragraph, like so (mildly edited): The newly released Apache Geronimo 2.0 (geronimo.apache.org) breaks new ground as the first Open Source Application Server to provide two certified Web Services implementations: Apache Axis and Apache CXF. Apache Geronimo 2.0 is the latest open source Java Enterprise Edition 5.0 application server from the Apache Software Foundation, and continues the evolution of the Apache Geronimo server by adding new features and capabilities to a fully compliant and certified Java Enterprise Edition 5.0 container suitable for everything from a development environment to enterprise-level deployments. Flexibility and choice, you have both with Apache Geronimo. This release introduces new features like simplified development, improved diagnostics, and flexible assemblies. * Simplified deployment uses the enhanced Java Enterprise Edition 5.0. standards-based programming model. * Improved diagnostic capabilities include enhanced logging, a class loader viewer, and a JMX browser -- all available from the included console. Via the console, you can change logging levels on the fly as well as view existing logs with a set of filters. Looking for a class and wondering where it came from? The class loader viewer helps you find it instantly. Want to see or change the attributes for MBeans in the server? The JMX browser navigates MBeans in the server in a simple tree format. With Apache Geronimo 2.0, there is no need to hook up external consoles or third party products! * Flexible assemblies come courtesy of the project's "Little G" Version 2.0—a lightweight container offering for projects that don't need the full feature set of Java Enterprise Edition 5.0. Perfect for web-service and SOA deployments, "Little G" brings the modularity, manageability and extensibility of Apache Geronimo to a lightweight assembly that is small in footprint but full in capability. Version 2.0 also features streamlined development with the EJB 3.0 persistence API, a programming model that uses annotations to express developer defaults in the source code. Apache Geronimo 2.0 is a flexible, user-friendly, and easy-to-configure application server built from best-of-breed open source components and is fully licensed under the Apache Software License, offering multiple benefits to organizations and their development teams. Organizations can use Apache Geronimo as-is, or create custom offerings without the restrictions imposed by other Open Source licenses. About Apache Geronimo and the Apache Software Foundation The Apache Geronimo Application Server is created and maintained by a diverse group of volunteers who share common values regarding collaborative, community-based open source development. The Apache Software Foundation provides organizational, legal and financial support for a broad range of open source software projects, including Apache Geronimo. The Foundation provides an established framework for intellectual property and financial contributions, while simultaneously limiting contributors' potential legal exposure.

Re: DRAFT Press Release (final draft for review)
I would change the "certified Java Enterprise Edition" in the first paragraph to "certified Java Enterprise Edition 5.0"...i.e. add the 5.0.
