The problem I see is that RAT will never leave the Incubator without some progress. The least that needs to be done is work through http://incubator.apache.org/projects/rat.html - for instance the website url has not been filled in even though you do have one. Other stuff can be updated at this point. Note sure whether this 'paperwork' situation will get in the way of a release, considering you will need to get votes from the incubator. Gav... > > Stefan
