You might have seen the recent announcement that Apache Shale, originally developed as part of the Apache Struts project, has been approved as an Apache top level project of its own. This message is an announcement that the project resources are now completely set up (thanks to the prompt attention of the Apache infrastructure team), and ready for use:
Project Web Site: http://shale.apache.org/ Project Wiki Site: http://wiki.apache.org/shale/ Mailing List Information / Subscription / Archive Links: http://shale.apache.org/mail-lists.html Nightly Builds: http://people.apache.org/builds/shale/ On the web site, you will notice that there is, as of yet, no logo for the project. In fact, we would really like two images -- one for the web site logo, and a "Powered By Shale" logo that can optionally be included by web applications built with Shale. As someone who can barely draw a rectangle with straight lines, this seems like the perfect opportunity to get the community involved in a design ... so we're going to have a logo contest. Read about it on our wiki page, and submit your creative ideas there: http://wiki.apache.org/shale/LogoContest then, join the Shale User mailing list and root for your favorites. Craig McClanahan
