title: Is Apache Velocity still an active project?
body: <p>Seeing that Velocity's latest stable version was released at least two years ago, I was hoping the good people at SF would be able to suggest if this project is still actively maintained. I can see no hint to this other then a Velocity 2.0 project on JIRA that does not seem to have any activity. </p>
