JMeter TLP changes

JMeter is in the process of becoming an independent Apache project,
rather than a sub-project of Jakarta.

SVN has already moved:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/jmeter/ =>
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jmeter/

The Wiki has already moved:
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-jmeter/ => http://wiki.apache.org/jmeter/

The website will soon move:
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/ => http://jmeter.apache.org/

Mailing lists are changing:

jmeter-user <at> jakarta.apache.org has been renamed to user <at> jmeter.apache.org
Existing subscribers are not affected.

There are 3 new mailing lists:
commits <at> jmeter.apache.org (SVN mails)
dev <at> jmeter.apache.org (general developer mails, and Wiki updates)
issues <at> jmeter.apache.org (Bugzilla)

It is not possible to rename the Jakarta mailing lists as they are
shared with other projects.
JMeter developers should subscribe to commits, dev, and issues.

Top Level Jakarta Website

Re: Top Level Jakarta Website

The last project just moved out of Jakarta, so what you're seeing is a very
realistic view of things :)

We'll be closing down Jakarta soon. Waiting on JMeter to be fully 'out',
and then need to go through the non-profit motions to close the committee
down.

As the front page says, Jakarta subprojects have been moving on or retiring
for some while now; the last such project (JMeter) has just become a TLP.

From the front page, 3rd sentence:

"all subprojects have now left the Jakarta project to become top level
projects, join other TLPs (Commons), or in some cases been retired.  "

Jakarta itself is due to retire to the Apache Attic.

JMeter now (almost) fully detached from Jakarta

JMeter is now a fully independent TLP; the website was moved earlier today.

As far as I know, the only references to JMeter under the Jakarta
website are historical references in news items etc.

SVN has been moved; download pages have been moved.

The only remaining active Jakarta reference is in the mirrors.

The current JMeter release is served from

www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/jmeter.

[Likewise for BCEL, BSF and JCS.]

It looks as though some ex Jakarta projects have moved all their
distributions out of Jakarta, including the archives.
For example, there are no commons or httpcomponents executables under
www.apache.org/jakarta or archive.apache.org/jakarta.

Should we follow the same strategy with JMeter, BCEL, BSF and JCS?

If so, is there a standard process for doing the work to minimise disruption?
I don't think it's difficult, but it's easy to overlook something so
I'd rather follow an established procedure if there is one.
If not, then perhaps we can discuss the process here first.
