Announcing that Apache Abdera is now retired.

[jan i <ja...@apache.org>]

Announcing that the Apache Abdera committers have voted to retire
the project due to inactivity.Abdera was a project is to build a
functionally-complete, high-performance implementation of the IETF
Atom Syndication Format (RFC 4287) and Atom Publishing Protocol (RFC
5023) specifications.

Retiring a project is not as simple as turning everything off, as
existing users need to both know that the project is retiring and
retain access to the necessary information for their own development
efforts.

You can read more about Abdera's retirement at:

   http://attic.apache.org/projects/abdera.html

The user mailing list remains open, while the rest of the project's
resources will continue to be available in a read-only state -
website, wikis, svn, downloads and bug tracker with no change in url.

Providing process and solutions to make it clear when an Apache
project has reached its end of life is the role of the Apache Attic,
and you can read more about that at:

   http://attic.apache.org/

Thanks,

Jan Iversen
on behalf of the Apache Attic and the now retired Apache Abdera project
