+2011 March - Board report for Apache Shiro
+
+Apache Shiro is a powerful and flexible open-source application security
+framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise
+session management and cryptography.
+
+We have no issues that require Board assistance at this time.
+
+Releases:
+- No releases since our first 1 Nov 2010 1.1.0 release
+
+Community & Project:
+ - No new committers or PMC members
+
+ - The project team is discussing the possibility of releasing a
+   1.1.1 bug fix point release or moving directly to a 1.2 release.
+
+ - Documentation efforts have increased significantly the last two
+   months, with new Authentication and Authorization guides being written
+   with many cleanup edits of the existing framework documentation.
+   February (last month) represented the highest traffic volume to date
+   for the Apache Shiro website (just shy of 10k site visits), indicating
+   these edits are paying off.
+
+ - Some new integration efforts by both committers and end-users for
+   integrating with third party authentication systems seems to have picked up
+   lately, with discussions about supporting OpenId, OAuth, and maybe
+   Oracle SSO
+
+ - In the last three months, the community has indicated areas for
+   significant improvement in the codebase which will probably make their
+   way into a 2.0 release.  There is currently no timeline for 2.0, but
+   ideas are being tracked at
+   https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SHIRO/Version+2+Brainstorming.
+
+   Most notable of the improvements are the continued migration to favoring
+   architecture that emphasizes OO composition over inheritance, affording
+   our end-users an even more pluggable approach to application security.
