    Yeah, the TLP news are a bit dated... Still one place where this can
    pose as news - the Apache front page:

    http://www.apache.org/

    Didn't have time to check the site sources and build a patch with
    Cayenne announcement. Another area where volunteer help would be great.

    Now the JPA related press release. A good idea, but a bit too early.
    Essentially until there is something fairly solid to give people to
    play with (even non-compliant, but having all major pieces in place),
    we don't want to announce it. I still can't put my hands on the TCK
    to at least estimate where we are (a bit of a deja vu - last summer
    all our TCK requests went into some internet black hole). So I
    suggest to hold off on that.
