Hi,

I have decided to drop the rhetoric name "JWebMVC" in favour of
Taimen. The Taimen is a lightweight, unsinkable, folding kayak common
in Russia:

Taimen is also one of the largest salmonids:

I hope these characteristics will reflect in the new name much better
than the older one. Please let me know if you have any questions or if
you see any concern in the renaming.

The first release of Taimen source code will be what JWebMVC 0.1 Beta1
would have been. Taimen will continue the release version numbering of
JWebMVC, i.e. the first release of Taimen will (most likely) be 0.1
Beta1. Another important bit of decision I have taken is to merge the
Java and Clojure versions into one. The generated binary JAR files
will however be different for Java and Clojure so that Java users can
have a smaller JAR.

The Bitumen Framework page on Google Code reflects the forthcoming
changes: http://code.google.com/p/bitumenframework/

Regards,
Shantanu
