Hi Todd,
Good to hear from you! Please see my comments below.

That's good news! I'm looking forward to know more.
In the event of a move to another hosting point, it would make sense to simply close the project on java.net. Leaving it unmanaged could damage the reputation of the project by leaving visitors with the impression that the project is no longer maintained, and that would be disastrous and in opposition with the goal of moving.
I found that java.net provides a way to publish web content (as described here http://community.java.net/projects/publicize.csp), however the way it works is somewhat unnatural (html files are put to cvs). It would be great if we had a way to manage the files outside the cvs repository, but it could be OK for a start.
I read the email you sent to George. I hope he's still interested in sharing the code. It is important however to make sure that the code is free of any copyright issues; in other words, that the code belongs to him and that he agrees that we modify and redistribute it without restrictions.
By the way, would you like me to open a branch for him too?
Goodbye!

Thanks Math!
Please go ahead and create a branch for me.
Done! Your branch is named abeille_2-1-0M3_viegs
To get you up to speed on a couple of items I've followed up on (since our least correspondance):
1) The CVS vs SVN issues. I did a bit of research and java.net it turns out DOES have support for SVN. I have contacted Sun and their leads at java.net and am waiting to hear back from them. I have for feedback as to the process we would need to follow to get our codebase migrated to SVN. I explained our concerns with performance of CVS, etc.
That's good news! I'm looking forward to know more.
2) I enquired about possibly moving away from java.net as the hosting point for the Abeille project. I told them it wasn't in stone yet...and that we are in discussions. However, if there is a change we make I don't want Abeille left unmanaged on java.net.

3) I'm also looking into ways to increase exposure if we stay on java.net.

4) Finally...I re-initiated with George to obtain a stable release of the much larger 3.0 changes that he and his team have done. I want to review that work and then plan out a code review and merge at some point. This is at least a first step.

Hi Todd,
It's confirmed now, the tag abeille_2-1-0M3 has been applied successfully. I intend to open a branch to commit the changes I made so far to abeille and I could open one for you too if you want. All we need now is to decide what naming convention we would like to use for branches... I propose to use developers' names like you suggested for the moment. The naming scheme can be changed at a later time if we feel it does not work well anymore. What do you think?

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.
...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.
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!
