> RICE RELEASE 1.0 DELIVERED
>
> The Kuali Foundation is very excited to announce the release of  
> Kuali Rice 1.0, a true milestone for the Rice project and another  
> important milestone for the entire Kuali community. This release is  
> accompanied by the launch of the new Rice website (http://rice.kuali.org 
> ), which features a fresh new design and is built on the Drupal  
> platform.
>
> Kuali Rice consists of a set of modules comprising a middleware  
> stack that provides essential services to every Kuali application.  
> As a fundamental part of all Kuali applications, Rice has required  
> an extraordinary level of inter-project collaboration. The hard  
> work, dedication and talent of individuals across the Kuali  
> community have conspired to make this release a reality.
>
> Beyond the Kuali applications, Rice is becoming a preferred choice  
> for institutions establishing a common enterprise architecture. Rice  
> improves enterprise application development speed, consistency, and  
> maintainability well beyond the Kuali applications.
>
> Kuali Rice 1.0 includes the following modules:
> ·       Identity Management
> ·       Enterprise Workflow
> ·       Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)
> ·       Enterprise Notification
> ·       Application Development Framework (Kuali Nervous System)
>
> Highlights of work done for this release include:
> ·       The addition of the Kuali Identity Management (KIM) module
> ·       The conversion of Kuali Enterprise Workflow screens to use  
> the Kuali Nervous System
> ·       Significant reduction and elimination of duplication in  
> various modules
> ·       Improvements to the project structure (package names,  
> modules, etc.)
> ·       Increased standardization of database table and column names
> ·       Improved documentation
>
> Kuali Rice 1.0 can be downloaded from the Rice website at http://rice.kuali.org/download
>
> There are three different distributions of Rice available: source,  
> binary and server.  Please read the Installation Guide for more  
> details on each of these distributions.
>
> Documentation for this release can be found at http://rice.kuali.org/docs/1.0.0
>
> Information on upgrading from Rice 0.9.3 can be found in the Release  
> Notes included with the documentation. The Release Notes also  
> contain known issues, planned work, and the full change log. Nearly  
> 1,100 Jira tickets were resolved for this release!
>
> As an open source community we depend on active involvement from our  
> users. Please take the time to report any issue you find.   
> Instructions for reporting Rice issues can be found in the  
> documentation.
>
> An extensive effort has been undertaken to improve the documentation  
> for this release of Rice.  However, not all of the documentation we  
> are planning to deliver is 100% complete at this time.  We will be  
> continuing to work on improvements to the delivered documentation  
> over the next few weeks.  We welcome any and all feedback.  Input  
> from implementers and others in the community is extremely valuable  
> in helping us to ensure that our documentation meets your needs.
>
> This is a very exciting time for the Kuali Rice project!  Our  
> Application and Technical Roadmap Committees are actively working on  
> the Rice roadmap, which will lay the course for how the project will  
> evolve and progress over the next few years.  The release of version  
> 1.0 of Rice is just the first step in this journey.
>
> Please join us at Kuali Days VIII in November to learn more about  
> Rice and the other Kuali projects.  We hope to see you there!
