not sure weather its a good idea to re-release with the same Version number
after IP check is done. IMHO we need a clear cut - for users and developers
- to emphasize something has changed. In addition I assume we have to
change the code basis during IP check -process (changed dependencies,
changing headers again, etc.) that the current release is based on
something else (we don't know at the moment) and therefor I would prefer to
re-release with a different version number.

Whether we should increase the minor or major version it's not that
important. I would be fine with a 1.5/1.4.1 or even 2.0.

To start going through the IP we are taking the current release tag 1.4.0.
Seem that we do not transfer the whole history as a git repository, which
is fine as long as we have the chance to set the current repo at github
read-only.
With this in mind, I've the following questions:
- How do we handle changes on master once the IP process has been started?
(e.g. set it read-only and announce this on udig-developer mailing list)
- What about the community repository, do we migrate it as well or leave it
where it is?
- Which docs from the udig-docs repository are in question to move to
LocationTech as well? (user/devel as well as the walkthrough's (except
uDigWalkthrough3.odt) we already migrated to udig-platform/docs. Afterwards
we can set this repository to read-only as well, can't we?
-  How do we organize in the future?
   - Do we still use JIRA/Confluence or do we move to Eclipse-Bugzilla (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/describecomponents.cgi)?
   - Any plans to create a project "udigGIS"/"udig" in Bugzilla?
   - Does provide http://locationtech.org any infrastructure for this?

Many questions I know, lets start with the IP! @Jody : do we already
provided a ZIP of the 1.4.0 TAG? If not, who is responsible for?

Opinions? Does have the Eclipse Foundation any other
suggestions or requirements?

Cheers Frank
