I spoke to the student developer, and he is willing to pass the project on to the Apache ACE project, re-licensing under ASL. Both him and I would however like to make sure that his (and our university) contribution does not disappear by doing so, ie that he can reference back to his work after it is part of ACE. So I would like to ask for help with the donation and transition. My rough idea is that 1. we create a jira ticket for this 2. we clarify the origin of the code (some minor pieces were reused from other open source projects) 3. an archive with cleaned up source (author in javadocs, correct license header) is attached to the ticket 4. paperwork related to the donation and IP clearance is done (?) 5. someone with committer rights imports the sources to the repository 6. documentation is transferred to ACE wiki but obviously I am not completely sure about the process and its many details. Could you please clarify it for us? (Maybe outside the mailing list 'coz I assume it will be boring details for most other people.) Since the student is currently awaiting final exams, he will not probably be available until the start of July; so I guess the whole thing will be done during the summer months depending on when each of us is available.
