Do most visitors care about whether a project is "graduated" or "related"?
If a new user comes from an up-to-date link (or book/article), they won't even be looking here. If they see an out-of-date reference in to the jakarta site, usually it'll be to a direct URL (e.g. http://jakarta.apache.org/ant) which should just forward to the new URL. I suspect only a few people will be searching on the Jakarta home page for ant, etc. So why not just a simple prominent sentence "Can't find what you're looking for? Check the list of related projects at http://www.apache.org";.
Cheers, WILL

Subject: Re: [site] Label for promoted Jakarta project
i'm not really sure there's any good solution to this one. the downside of ex-jakarta is that it's inaccurate: logging isn't really ex-jakarta since it contains more than log4j.
i wonder whether we could fit in every apache project and just label it Apache Projects...

At the bottom of the left hand navbar is a section of projects that used to be a part of Jakarta. It used to be Related and is currently Graduated, but neither name has won fans.
Martin has suggested 'Ex-Jakarta'. A problem with Graduated is that it involves explaining, and also that it is a poor label as it is not a noun. Ex-Jakarta wins on both of these.
Ex-Jakarta has another advantage that I see, which is that things don't have to goto an Apache TLP to be Ex-Jakarta. OJB for example, in db.apache.org, or even to somewhere like Sourceforge.
So, any opinions?
Barring any -1's to Ex-Jakarta, I'll make the change on Wednesday night.
