Themis / News: Recent posts

Yes, I know I'm probably stating the obvious to those that follow the mailing lists or watch the cvs repository, but the project is still moving forward.

Just thought I'd mention that.

I'm also in the process of adding a Themis-users mailing list for... well... users. In theory, there will be some of those one day. :-)
