+The WSO2 Registry team is pleased to announce the 1.1 release of the 
+WSO2 Registry.
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+The WSO2 Registry is a hub for managing data in a web-friendly and 
+community-enabled way.  It was built with enterprise metadata for SOA in 
+mind, but really it's up to you - the Registry can hold any kind of 
+"stuff" including images, service descriptions, text files, office 
+documents... and every resource you put in the Registry becomes a center 
+for social activity.
+
+Eschewing the complexity (and WS-* focus) of specs like UDDI, our 
+Registry uses the Atom Publishing Protocol (via Apache Abdera) to offer 
+a standard and RESTfully simple remote interface, which can be accessed 
+easily by custom code, feed readers, and even browsers.
+
+The Registry has been designed both to encourage "grass-roots" community 
+around your data and also to allow for IT-friendly governance.  A full 
+feature list follows. We hope you'll find many uses for it, and that 
+you'll share them with us as we work to make it even better!
+
+The release can be obtained from:  http://wso2.org/downloads/registry
