Hello Apache Tiles Users, It's no secret that the development of Apache Tiles has slowed down dramatically over the last months. The Tiles PMC has unofficially decided that it's time to move Tiles to the Apache Attic [1]. If you are actively using Tiles in your projects I would strongly suggest you investigate the material about the attic to see what that means for you. In short, it means that there will be no future releases of the Tiles project, no support from the mailing lists, and I don't know that current releases are guaranteed to remain available. However, as with all Apache-licensed projects you are free to pull the source code and do almost anything you want with it (outside of calling your forked project "Tiles").
If you are unhappy with this development there is still time to change course. If you want to see development of Apache Tiles continue, please subscribe to the dev@ list immediately and introduce yourself and mention what you would like to do to help. There are currently no active committers on the project, but I would count it a joy to mentor some new committers and help bring you up to speed on the project and the Apache Way. The attic resolution will not be brought to the Apache Board of Directors before the mid-July meeting. If we do not have any further progress by then I suspect the project will move to the attic at that time. Thank you for making Apache Tiles what it is today. Greg Reddin
