+1 I've got a few patches underway for improvements to the core that should make it easier to write services. E.g. WHIRR-245 - Clearly demarcate the user and service provider APIs WHIRR-262 - Services should not have to do reverse DNS lookups WHIRR-275 - Improve firewall API for services These should be done soon while there are fewer services to update. > > - documentation - > Tom has a nice slideshare on writing whirr services.

I've also added a Powered By page to the wiki (at Patrick's suggestion): https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WHIRR/Powered+By Please add your organization and/or application to the list if it makes use of Whirr.
