-If anyone in the community is interested in reviving this project and moving it out of maintenance mode, please reach out to [opensource@zalando.de](opensource@zalando.de).
+However, going forward Grafter will continue to be maintained by Eric Torreborre at http://github.com/etorreborre/grafter - we ask you to go there for latest changes.

+As an open source project driven by Zalando engineers, Grafter has served our Scala projects well over the years and retiring this project is no indicator of lack of Scala use inside Zalando, quite the contrary - this project has simply served its purpose and it is now time to move on.
