[admin] Press release quote from the Batik team.

[Vincent Hardy <vi...@eng.sun.com>]

Hello,

As you know, all of our companies will provide quotes for the Batik
press release. In addition, the PR draft requires a quote from the team:

> "PLACEHOLDER FOR QUOTE" recommend one with the pseudo title of the person
> quoted being something like, Batik Team Leader or Co-Leader and then their
> professional title and affiliation.
> 

So, one of us could do a quote. I think one option is to do a group
quote (it is probably less conventional, but I like the idea of making
a group statement). 

So I propose the following quote:

"Batik provides building blocks that developers can assemble in 
various ways in their Java technology applications to generate, 
parse, view or convert SVG contents. For example, Batik contains
a Swing component that can add SVG viewing capability to all Java
technology applications. Batik can also be used to generate SVG on
a client or on a server, and Batik can convert SVG content into
other formats such as JPEG or PNG. Batik's goal is to make it easy
for application developers to handle SVG content for various 
purposes, client-side or server-side", says the Batik team.

Let me know what you think.
V.

I like it - the only change I'd suggest is maybe moving the
"client and server side" phrase more to the front, to make it
clear that it's not just client side Java.  Especially in the 
Apache context... of course, maybe someone else will do that for
us in another quote!
