Math,

To elaborate a bit more on some of the related questions/comment you originally made:

...additional comments on that first email. I know you'd asked for me to provide the tag name for application to the head. Currently trunk is at a 2.1 M3 state (as I just mentioned in my last email). based on this info...do you have enough to infer a proper tag name for it? If not please respond back and I'll try to get back to you with additional information.

Yes, it's just fine, I used the full version name for the tag (abeille_2-1-0M3) which I'm trying to apply at the moment... the cvs server at dev.java.net is a pain in the neck...

...as far as hosting a project website. You're totally right with regards to search and project presentation. There could be a big step forward in the area of visibility if these could be improved. Abeille is the single open source WYSIWYG Forms Designer to compete with the commercial counterparts. I'd love to see it get more exposure and be brought to the surface.

Let's start a serious discussion on what would be entailed to move the project to Sourceforge. I may need to talk to one of the contacts at Sun to see if there are any complications related to moving it. (I would hope not...but we'll see). Is there anything else that you have knowledge on as far as what this would take? I would gladly take time to research this further...but with being swamped I'm trying to hammer out the last stages of work on these projects I'm trying to wrap up.

Glad you like the idea! Moving the project to sf.net should be easy and straightforward. It requires to file a project request and wait for them to process our request. Since it is an existing project there shouldn't be any trouble. To resume, the roadmap would look like:
1) File project request
2) Configure the project (downloads, forums, mailing lists, etc)
3) Check-in the source code and apply relevant tags
4) Let everyone know that the project moved and that current mailing lists will be terminated in favor of new ones
5) Setup the web page

Step 5 can wait because it is a rather lengthy task, but the rest should be done in a few hours. If you're ok with that, I could begin the process and keep you posted on developments.

Anyway...I hope this extra email maybe answers any other points you had made!

More later,

~Todd

Hi Todd,

Just wanted to say hi and know what's up. I had no answer to my last email so I figured you must be very busy these days... When you get a minute, could you have a look at it and let me know what you think? Also, I would like to check-in my changes but I don't want to do it before a tag is applied to the code and for that I need you input.

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon!
