The Spring community web site has always been the best place to get all the information you need about Spring and Spring related projects. With the goal of better serving the developers and architects that use Spring and improving their overall web experience, in the next couple of weeks, we will be making some changes and enhancements to the SpringFramework.org web site. These changes include:

• A new look and feel that emphasizes the Spring community
• Navigation changes to make key projects and resources easier to find
• Content reorganization to improve the grouping of related content
• Better integration of the multiple systems that the Spring community commonly use

If you want to make requests for features, can't find a previous resource that has changed in the update or if you just want to provide some feedback then send a message to the web design team. Thanks for your patience during these changes.
