A Note About the Future of Shorewall from Tom Eastep
+
+As has been widely reported, I have decided to terminate my association
+with the Shorewall project. I attempted to explain my reasons in my
+post to the mailing lists on May 17th.
+
+I want to reassure everyone that Shorewall is not going away.
+The Website and CVS
+repository are safely ensconsed at Sourceforge and we are actively working
+to ensure that the mirrors that
+choose to continue in operation can receive updates in a timely
+fashion. The mailing lists will continue to be hosted at
+lists.shorewall.net until we can work out a strategy to migrate them to
+Sourceforge.
+
+If you want to contribute to ongoing maintenance, development or
+documentation of Shorewall please subscribe to the Shorewall
+Development Mailing list. There you will find other people who
+share your interest.
