I only control the Cayenne project on SF:

The project description says "Currently Cayenne is developed at the
Apache Software Foundation (http://cayenne.apache.org)". The website
points to Apache. It shouldn't be closed, as it is the place where
the users can get old versions of Cayenne (including currently
supported v. 1.2.x).
So the current dormant state of the old hosting location seems
appropriate to me. Do you have any other suggestions about it?
While I was updating various sites with the new release (wikipaedia,
ohloh, freshmeat, etc) I came across sourceforge and thought it looked
a bit confusing. Things like the "Last Update: Oct 12 2007" in the big
green box make it look abandoned.
Some little things might help:
* add a news item saying "Cayenne project moved to cayenne.apache.org"
since the news is very prominent
* remove the big green download box (if possible)
* put "this project has moved" more prominently in the summary
I don't maintain anything in Sourceforge so I don't know what options
are available.
