Hi all,

=20

Just a quick note to announce Thrift's official intention to join the
Apache Incubator and introduce ourselves to the Apache list. For those
not familiar with Thrift, it's a lightweight system for cross-language
programming using code-generation, RPC, and object serialization. It's
designed first and foremost to provide high performance in real-time
environments (i.e. Facebook's backend, no surprises there).

All the information, source code, and a whitepaper are available at:
http://developers.facebook.com/thrift/

We'll be working on putting together our formal proposal shortly, but
the first thing we wanted to solicit the list for was interest in being
a Champion/Mentor for the project. Paul Querna has already volunteered
to take on either role (or both), but as I understand it we're not
limited to having just one person... so please give us a shout if you'd
be interested in joining the effort in either of those roles.

=20

I'll leave it at that for now. And of course any initial feedback is
more than welcome.

Cheers,

Mark
