2009-January JSecurity/Ki Incubator status report

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

Ki has been incubating since June 2008.

The project team voted at the end of February to change the project name from
JSecurity (its previous name prior to entry into the ASF Incubator) to
'Apache Ki' for a number of reasons, which are documented in full detail here:

Project infrastructure is being changed to match this name change, but is not
yet fully complete. Mailing lists are pending still.

There was a post on the old jsecurity.org website by an individual stating
that they would appreciate if we used a different name other than Ki, posted
here:
http://www.jsecurity.org/node/1081#comment-289. One of our project members
responded and have not received any responses further. The project team is now
internally debating whether we need to change the project name yet again.

The old jsecurity.org project website has entered an archival state, clearly
pointing that all users should be redirected to the new Incubator ki site. A
crontab entry has been created to auto-export the cwiki to here:

http://incubator.apache.org/ki

We're happy to report that development and user list activity has steadily
increased since we started incubation last year, with March (last month) being
the most active month to date.

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.
