Hello again, Niclas.

Regarding the blog post, may I suggest that you open a JIRA ticket for Infr=
a to create blogs.apache.org/polygene --also be sure to request publishing =
credentials so you can actually get the post up <g>
I'll be referring to it in the press release as a technical fact sheet, and=
 will forward the revised draft once completed.
Kind regards,
Sally
