Hi,

There has been a pause in development for some time due to a number of
factors. On the personal front I am in the process of shifting to a
new house (should be done by Jan 2010 first week). Secondly, I have
been thinking about the development process and have decided the
following:

1. Use Maven for dependency management and builds (sanitizes the
dependency JARs)
2. Use clojars.org for putting JARs
3. Use Clojure 1.1 as the base default Clojure version (because test-
is is now part of Clojure proper)

I have decided not to go with Leiningen for now due to lack of Windows
support and lack of IDE support.

First library to come out now would be Jettify 0.2 with minor
namespace changes and (supposedly) support for Filters and Listeners.
Taimen will have one more alpha to accommodate a small but important
internal change (route variables will also be passed to the route
matcher) -- this should cause no change to the external API that is
ready for use.

Another important decision I have taken is to root (i.e. delete and re-
create) the BitBucket repositories. This will help save space that's
occupied by the dependency JARs.

Going forward, my focus will on REST based, distributed (with Servlet
3.0 Async support) systems.
