Grouper v1.0 is now available. This release is considered to be ready 
for production deployment.

With v1.0, Grouper supports

* basic group management by distributed authorities
* subgroups
* composite groups (groups whose membership is determined by the union,
  intersection, or relative complement of two other groups)
* custom group types and custom attributes
* traceback of indirect membership
* delegation

and its major components include

* a java API (source)
* a java UI (source, extremely mutable)
* an XML import/export tool
* a command line shell that exposes the complete API

The Grouper Wiki is also now open. It is used to support Grouper-related 
working group and community activities, and will be the home of Grouper 
software and technical documentation.
