: point, it's either the Attic or Incubator and I'm leaning toward Attic. : However, I think it makes sense to give one more chance by saying: You : have until January 31 to put together a proposal for going back to the : Incubator. Please see http://incubator.apache.org for what such a : proposal entails.
I'm not certain the attic is appropriate -- my understanding is that it's the final resting place for "projects" (TLP, ie: an entire PMC) that are being disolved at a foundation level via board resolution. Within a PMC, like Lucene, the decision to retire a specific sub-projects and mailing lists probably doesn't need to require a board resolution. but i could be wrong. In either case, having a hard date seems like a good idea -- i thought one had been established before, but i guess not. -Hoss
