Hello all, I strongly agree with Bill on migrating the code base to org.apache. This will attract more developers and automatically fix issues involving copyrights and headers that we don't need to waste our time dealing with. Heron, as an open source project, is in a state of limbo. Developers are confused to whether Heron is indeed in ASF or not, and this could dissuade potential developers from investing in the project. There has been talk of Heron joining Apache for a very long time, and I think people are starting to wonder if there is something wrong with Heron that is still causing it to not officially look like an ASF project. The most important thing to the success of an ASF, or any open source project, is the community around the project. The longer we wait on this, more and more potential developers and contributors might turn away. Thus, I think we should push this through ASAP.
