Hi all, To add to the fun, we're getting really close now to actually transitioning the NetBeans brand and domains to Apache.
I.e., netbeans.org and several other domains are in process of being donated to Apache. We have the go ahead from Apache VP to open an INFRA ticket for the transfer of NetBeans domain names to Apache, which I'll do right after sending out this e-mail. A related knock-on effect is that org.netbeans will be available for Apache NetBeans Maven archetypes, since the netbeans.org domain will belong to Apache. Anyway, lots to discuss here, and several loose ends and open items. If you consider this as the start of a process, rather than the end of it, you'll be in the right frame of mind. :-) I'll post the INFRA ticket here as soon as its created, where we can track progress, and will also put this thread in the issue so that we can keep things co-ordinated. If you're going to respond in this thread, please do try to be as compact and to the point as you possibly can be. Thanks, Gj
