The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache community of open-source software projects. The Apache projects are characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process, an open and pragmatic software license, and a desire to create high quality software that leads the way in its field. We consider ourselves not simply a group of projects sharing a server, but rather a community of developers and users.

You are invited to participate in The Apache Software Foundation. We welcome contributions in many forms. Our membership consists of those individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to collaborative open-source software development through sustained participation and contributions within the Foundation's projects.

If you would like to keep up with news and annoucements from the foundation and all its projects, you can subscribe to the new Apache Announcements List.

Below we feature a few of the many Apache projects.

Cocoon 2

http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/ Version 2 of the Apache Cocoon XML publishing framework has been released. Cocoon is a powerful framework for XML web publishing which brings a whole new world of abstraction and ease to consolidated web site creation and management based on the XML paradigm and related technologies.

Gump

http://jakarta.apache.org/gump/ Gump is a social experiment. The primary goal of Gump is to get diverse projects to communicate early and often about integration, dependencies, and versioning management. While not yet an official Apache project, this is a place where some interesting and innovative work is under way.
