Lawrence,

Please send an email to secretary AT apache.org regarding #2.
Regarding 5, Please review

- External jars depdendencies, make sure NOTICE and LICENSE files are
up-to-date. and all the licenses are compatible
- I don't think WSDL4J is trademarked and probably not relevent since
we are changing not going to use that name here.
- Please go thru the code and see if there are any headers with
copyright notices etc other than Apache's.

that's it. (i think :)

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?

Thanks,

Lawrence
