Velocity powered Websites
> This is a list of public web sites that are created using Velocity. This, of course, is by no means a complete listing of all of the Velocity powered websites. Currently, in the Jakarta project, the main Jakarta website, Velocity, Ant, ECS, James, Jetspeed, Log4J, JMeter, Regexp, Tomcat, Turbine, Commons, and Alexandria projects are all rendered as static HTML using Velocity through the use of the Anakia XML transformation tool. If you want your Velocity powered site listed here, please post a message on the Velocity user mailing list.
