While I was updating various sites with the new release (wikipaedia,
ohloh, freshmeat, etc) I came across sourceforge and thought it looked
a bit confusing. Things like the "Last Update: Oct 12 2007" in the big
green box make it look abandoned.
Some little things might help:
* add a news item saying "Cayenne project moved to cayenne.apache.org"
since the news is very prominent
* remove the big green download box (if possible)
* put "this project has moved" more prominently in the summary
I don't maintain anything in Sourceforge so I don't know what options
are available.

I don't think you can disable or redirect downloads button without
shutting down the entire project.

Good idea (not sure if it will allow you to schedule it with the past
date, otherwise it will appear as if Cayenne migrated to Apache in
2009).

Or something along these lines: "Cayenne project at SourceForge is
dedicated to hosting a legacy 1.2 release. For up to date releases
please visit cayenne.apache.org"

What is your SF ID? I can set you up.
