OK. Thanks four your responses, Mark and Jason. Lets sum up. We have the agreement of the authors to build up a new "working group". I recently created a new organization at github: https://github.com/maven-nar (just to give this a kickstart) Please tell me who wants to become a project owner. I have added the three active fork users (richardkerr, grogdomjahn and 1spatial). I suggest to now vote on one fork to be moved to the organization and merging all the pull requests, solving issues etc. Unperiodical users can always create pull requests on the project. New regular users are welcome :)
Technical features can be discussed in the github wiki at the moment. I will create website and other things too, the website and repository can be hosted by github. After doing this homework with merging all the forks we can discuss the future of this project. As long as there is no organization selected I will use my jenkins to push the website to a github repository. > That said if you were going to take it to a foundation, in the long run I > would take it to the Eclipse Foundation.

All three solutions are fine for me as well as having a lonesome project group using github and publishing to maven central. For eclipse: This should be discussed with an eclipse foundation guru and with an eclipse cdt guru. As soon as we are ready with the project team and voted for an active project lead I would be happy to contact them. I am already involved in eclipse pdt (commiting patches) and already had some contact to some of the gurus.
