1) discuss about the file formatting options :
- space vs tabs : usually, almost everyone ins using spaces, no tabs in all the

what's is to be used explicitly.
My vote goes for spaces. (I guess its some sed-fu or IDE magic to sort that
out(?)).
It's a DEFT committers' thing : start a new thread, and discuss it
openly. We mentors have no preferences. Keep in mind : mentors !=
committers.
- Classes headers : @author can be added, it's up to you to decide what to put
into it
I'm fine without @author tag
Same than above. Eventually grouping those maters in one thread could help.
- formater : would you keep the default Java formatting, or do you have some
desires to modify it ?
So, regarding the formatting (prepare for bikeshedding..)
Same here : bikeshedding is a committer's task, mentors are daltonians
anyway :)
Hopefully, once you have came to an agreement, you can provide a
formater.xml or whatever file for your prefered IDE (bikeshedding
again...), and add it into svn.
As a rule of thumb, most of the ASF projects are using spaces/no tabs, default
Java format and @author only contains a ref to The ASF. This is *not*
mandatory...
2) DEFT Web site
- it would be a good idea to start thinking about a dedicated web-site
I agree. I like the standard look of other Apache incubation project's web
sites.
See Niklas' suggestion.
3) IP cleareance
IP is short for?
It's the phonetic nickname of a band, The Black Eye Peas. We say IP at
The ASF. It also stands for Internet protocol, could be TCP or UDP...
Or is it "Intellectual Property" ?
- listing the dependencies, and their license
We have a NOTICE.txt, enough?
Most certainly. We just have to chec that the licenses are ASL 2.0
compatible.
- if some code has been copied from third party projects, I would seriously
suggest that they should be replaced, unless it's Apache code (you never know
how tainted it was before you copied it...)
I dont think so.
Let's be sure...
Thanks !
