That's fine.  In the proposal I have indicated that the bugzilla issues will
be transferred manually.  I am seeking clarification from Stephen on the -1
he gave to the proposals regarding the use of the existing un-maintained
issues.apache.org/scarab instance by the OJB project.  Here is the relevant
text:

In reality this is totally in the hands of the OJB guys - the proposal is
basically for the status quo, but pointing out to them that a maintained
scarab instance is available if they would like to transfer to it.  Other
than that all I am proposing is that we de-emphasise the un-maintained
apache scarab instance to ensure that any projects that adopt scarab in the
future end up on the maintained instance at werken.com (preferably with an
apache.org domain name so that it is easy to migrate it back if this becomes
necessary in the future).

If I can get a clear +1 from Stephen and John (and obviously no -1's from
elsewhere) I will kick this process off ASAP.  Within the last two hours two
people have posted turbine issues to bugzilla - one of which is just so
totally ironic it is very funny:

> http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12808
> 
> Broken web site link to issue tracker
> 
> On http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/project-info.html the "Issue Tracking"

> This is incorrect.  Scarab appears to be running on port 80, not 8080, so the

So someone has used bugzilla to point out that the url to the apache scarab
install is incorrect for the turbine-site project.

I am pushing for a turbine 2.2 release, which means I am also pushing for a
torque 3.0 release.  This is basically going to mean an official (whatever
that means) feature freeze coupled with rigorous follow-up of any problems
that people are encountering with the betas.  Getting the issue tracking in
order is absolutely essential to this process.

Cheers,

Scott
