+ === Velocity Approved as Top Level Project ===
+ 
+     The Board of the Apache Software Foundation has passed a resolution to upgrade
+     Jakarta Velocity into an Apache Top Level Project (TLP), to be renamed Apache Velocity.  
+     We are excited of the new prominence of the Velocity project.  
+ 
+ 
+     Please stay tuned for our new website at 
+     http://velocity.apache.org/.  In the meantime,
+     note that our new mailing lists are 
+     user@velocity.apache.org (subscribe at 
+     user-subscribe@velocity.apache.org)
+     for general questions, and
+     dev@velocity.apache.org
+     (subscribe at 
+     dev-subscribe@velocity.apache.org) for 
+     development-related activity.
