Ant is now a top level Apache project

[Conor MacNeill <co...@cortexebusiness.com.au>]

Hi all,

For those of you who do not already know it, Apache Ant was approved as a 
top level project of the ASF by the board meeting of the 18th.

For the development of Ant and its users it will be pretty much business as 
usual. For the new PMC we will need to craft some bylaws which govern the 
operation of the project, etc. I'll try to get started on a draft of those 
as soon as possible. All input welcome. I expect these to be pretty standard 
- along the lines of httpd/Jakarta, etc.

There are other things we can/should address in time (establishing 
ant.apache.org, for example). I don't think there is any rush necessary 
here. If you have any queries about this or ideas you'd like to express, 
please feel free to do so.

I will also be jumping into bugs and patches in the coming weeks to clear 
some of the backlog. Please hang in there for that :-)

Conor

Even if it does, this wouldn't be a big deal as we would leave a
symlink in place IMHO.

The board has also created the Avalon PMC :-)

Since we will be doing basically the same steps, I will follow the 
discussion here closely, and eventually bring forward in both projects 
what interesting steps are being carried out on the other project.

Actually, I have one question already, because I'm in difficulty myself 
on this. The Ant CVS is named jakarta-ant. Will it change? Will "ant" 
begin with hosting a newer ant release?

No need to relpy now, I'll be waiting here for some hints, thank you :-)

Should we annonce this on ant-user as well (or wait until
ant.apache.org is functional)?

Do we want ant.apache.org at all?  I do.
