Would this be the time to write this down in the wiki?
I can make a start if you want.

Hello,
I believe all the Incubation changes will take a serious toll on our
users
if we have to change the mailing lists, drop the forums, move the wiki
and
use another main website.
It seems essential to me to use the netbeans.org domain and preserve as
much of the site / links as possible.
OpenOffice for example uses the https://www.openoffice.org/ website: we
should follow the same path!
The way I see it, NetBeans is not just a developer library or tool, it's
also a product. So, we have different categories of users, unlike, say,
Apache Commons IO. We will be hurting ourselves as a product with so many
drastic changes.
There are two audiences here, keep that in mind:
1) USERS of NetBeans (who will visit www.netbeans.org)
2) DEVELOPERS of NetBeans (who will visit netbeans.apache.org)
The best way to handle this is simply to, yes, have two web sites - one
for users of the project and one for the developers. There is nothing
standing in the way of that. The only obligatory thing is that the
developer site must be at netbeans.apache.org.
With regards,
Daniel.
The transition should be smooth: existing and new users should not see
anything new except the good news that we are under Apache now!
