2009-October Shiro Incubator status report

Shiro is a powerful and flexible open-source application security framework that
cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and
cryptography.

Shiro has been incubating since June 2008.

We are very excited to report we have added Kalle Korhonen as our first new
committer since joining the incubator.  This marks a big project milestone
for us as we continue to grow our community.

There remain a few project infrastructure inconsistencies resulting from
our previous name change as described in this email thread:

Resolving these inconsistencies are a high priority and should be resolved
as soon as possible.

An issue of how Shiro is configured was the largest issue impeding our first
Apache release.  That issue has been largely resolved and once finalized,
we should be able to focus on our first Apache release.

The project team is not considering graduation at this point, as the code is
not ready for an Apache release. Once IP clearance is complete, we'll
attempt our first incubator release.
