+1. Probably best if I focus time on this rather than on the 3.0 release etc.

Thanks for the summary.
It doesn't look like much as changed:

Any progress on #2 and #3?
Looking at my 2.3.1 release, the ones that jump out are:
concurrent, antlr - public domain
mail, activation - bcl
I'm not concerned with the public domain - that's more an issue of
finding out how we deal with public domain and there are lots of uses
of antlr and concurrent out there; but the bcl ones can't be in our
distro. I think those are the BCL ones, rather than the newer
Glassfish ones. Are we still shipping them?
Also, in jdobackend:
./sandbox/jdobackend/lib/toplink-essentials.jar
strikes up a flag. Any idea to the license on that? I suspect we need
to make sure we don't distribute that.

And #1?
We have copyright to:
Thomas Fuchs
Erik Bosrup
Sun Microsystems
David M Johnson (including in the outputed javadoc by the look of it)
BSquare
OpenSymphony
Geir Landr
Marty Haught
(and in xinhua)
interactivetools.com
dynarch.com
Walter Zorn
The PHP Group
DTLink, LLC
None mentioned in the NOTICE.txt. A large number of them are from
javascript bits, but there are a lot in the source too.
My understanding is that we need to mention all of these in the
NOTICE.txt - but I'm also a bit worried by just how many of them are
there.

So we can post-pone this until after graduation?
+1.

I propose that we:
- Move the website portion of the wiki (i.e. the front page of helpful
links) to static HTML files at incubator.apache.org/roller/.
- Pick a wiki to be used at Apache org
- Establish a Roller page on the wiki
- Do all new Ideas and proposals at the Apache Roller wiki
- Put a "This is the old wiki, go to the new one" links on the
rollerweblogger.org/wiki site
- Gradually migrate content from the old wiki, now and after graduation

I think that's covered by the above.
Yep. people.apache.org died, but no reason not to start on the static
website part of things. Then we can request a wiki to be created
(different machine from people, but largely the same admins I suspect
- who are quite busy atm), and then migrate stuff.
