+                ASF Project</h4>            
+            <p>
+               On behalf of the ASF Board and Struts PMC, we are pleased to
+               announce that Shale has been accepted as a top-level project of
+               the Apache Software Foundation.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+               As a top-level project, Shale will have its own website, mailing
+               lists, repository space, and Project Management Committee. Shale
+               will be an automomous ASF project, rather than a subproject of
+               Apache Struts.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+               The Shale framework for JavaServer Faces is nearing its first
+               stable release. As a top-level project, it will be easier for
+               Shale to attract new developers and expand its growing 
community.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+               The initial set of PMC members and committers for Shale is:
+            </p>

+            </ul>

+            <p>
+               Apache Shale has strong ties to both the Struts and MyFaces
+               projects. Most of the Shale PMC members are already involved
+               in both projects, and plan on continuing to remain involved in
+               them, along with Shale.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+               Apache Shale is a modern web application framework, intended for
+               developers adopting JavaServer Faces as a core technology.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+               Shale began as a proposal for Struts 2.0, but instead became a
+               subproject, so as to provide a JSF alternative for Struts
+               developers. Recent developments for Struts Action 2 now make it
+               easier for Struts developers to access JSF components from 
within
+               an "action-based" application.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+               The initial Shale codebase was donated by Craig McClanahan, who
+               also donated the original Struts codebase.
+            </p>
