Gump is now an Apache Top Level Project
<p>Apache 
<a href="http://gump.apache.org">Gump</a> is now a top level Apache project.   
Our <a href="http://gump.apache.org/#What+is+Gump%3F">mission</a>
is still the same, 
<strong>get diverse projects to communicate early and often about integration, 
dependencies, and versioning management</strong>.  However since gump is now primarily 
written in python and serves a community larger than Jakarta, we haved moved out on our own.  
All Apache commiters still have write access to the entire gump CVS, and are encoured to 
edit their modules cvs data to keep the builds fresh.

<p>To make all this official, on <a href="http://apache.org/foundation/records/minutes/2004/board_minutes_2004_02_18.txt"
>18 Feb 2004</a> The Board voted to create the Gump PMC.
