Good Evening Sally, First and foremost I hope you are keeping well and that the beginning of the summer has been kind to you... all the good weather still to come not to worry :0)
The reason I contact you is that we (the Apache Nutch community) are nearly ready to release Nutch 2.0 which represents a pretty significant milestone for Apache Nutch as a project. Although Nutch 2.0 is not considered as main stream development (a decision made by the PMC some time ago) it still marks a real step forward for the project as a whole and also pays serious merit to users, developers and committers past and present. Due top these reasons I think it would be excellent for the community if we could really get the message out that the project is rocking in addition to the fact that it is an excellent, well followed, vibrant TLP within the foundation. I wonder if it would be possible for us to get a formal press announcement constructed based on input from ourselves in collaboration with your experience in this area? I am coming into the official press releases from an almost blind tangent so would really appreciate your guidance and input on this one if possible. Thanks in advance for any input you have. Best Lewis N.B Please anyone from dev@ chime in on this thread. I personally feel the better an announcement, the more our community grows. Thank you
