* remove the big green download box (if possible)
I don't think you can disable or redirect downloads button without
shutting down the entire project.
* add a news item saying "Cayenne project moved to
cayenne.apache.org" since the news is very prominent
Good idea (not sure if it will allow you to schedule it with the past
date, otherwise it will appear as if Cayenne migrated to Apache in
2009).
* put "this project has moved" more prominently in the summary
Or something along these lines: "Cayenne project at SourceForge is
dedicated to hosting a legacy 1.2 release. For up to date releases
please visit cayenne.apache.org"
Andrus, could you give me admin right on those you control
What is your SF ID? I can set you up.

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.
