A quick update on my action item to update the Woden status page [1]. I've updated the news, project info (commit list, wiki, committers), status reports, and several of the incubation work items. The remaining work items that are not currently marked as complete are as follows:
1. Make sure that the requested project name does not already exist and check www.nameprotect.com to be sure that the name is not already trademarked for an existing software product. Has anyone performed this check? nameprotect.com is a paid service. Is there a free alternative? (Can we simply use Google?) 2. Check and make sure that the papers that transfer rights to the ASF been received. It is only necessary to transfer rights for the package, the core code, and any new code produced by the project. Dims - Can you check this or point me to a resource where I can check this myself? All committers and contributors have signed ICLAs and I all the paperwork should be in place for the transfer of WSDL4J from IBM. 3. Check and make sure that for all code included with the distribution that is not under the Apache license, we have the right to combine with Apache-licensed code and redistribute. I think we're OK here (only the W3C license and possibly CPL) but I'll compile a list of the non-Apache licensed code and artifacts Woden redistributes. 4. Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of the committers? TBD - John is working on a document to formalize the Woden process. 5. Are all licensing, trademark, credit issues being taken care of and acknowledged by all committers? Dims - I'm not sure what exactly needs to be done to answer yes to this question. Is there a list?
