If we had this out in public we can get more info from Niclas and BJ who
have been discussing the J2ME API issues.
Is there anything on this email that requires us to keep it private?

There seem to me to be two remaining issues:

Did we come to a conclusion that anyone can act upon here?
Still trying to figure out the legalities. Can we redistribute the OSGi
version of this jar? Again nice to have Niclas and BJ comment some more.

This is currently effectively a single page site. This may be okay
for an incubating project, but it certainly isn't for a TLP. I'm not
sure when we would need to deal with this (i.e. before or after
graduation), but we will need to.
Oh I'd say we need this before. I don't want it to be a red light. We
need a real site here. We can copy the layout of an existing website
and fill it in using confluence info.
I had written a crappy little program to pull pages from confluence and
spit out xdocs but it's a mess. Some say maven's doxia plugin can do
this. We need to ask the maven peeps about this so we can reuse the
confluence doco for our static site.
This way confluence can become an authoring tool as opposed to serving
dynamic pages which we just cannot do.
We'll need to have some basic documentation for Felix - maybe an
introductory tutorial - stuff that a newcomer is likely to want to read.
Maybe we have this stuff already, in which case great, we just need to
move it to incubator.apache.org/felix.

Now, as far as the question of what technology to use (Confluence or
Maven), I'd propose we continue to use Confluence for our wiki, but just
make do with Maven for now for our main site. Maven works in a way that
fits into the Apache infrastructure as it is right now, so life with it
will be easier.
Thoughts on all of this?
My maven comments were made above. Once again if we use doxia to
transform and dump doco from confluence then we can use confluence as a
collaborative authoring tool.
