ATTN Mentors - graduation

[Janne Jalkanen <ja...@ecyrd.com>]

Esteemed mentors,

could you please check that the task list under

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI/fixforversion/12313986

is complete and should prepare us for graduation?  It's pretty much  
been copied from the ASF podling policy and guidelines, but since the  
policy and guidelines differ in certain places, I'm not sure whether I  
got it all.

Also, feel free to add your own observations and comments to the  
tasks ;-)

The site is specified by some XML files and we generate the HTML via Velocity.

To update JSPWiki's incubator status page website:

0) get the site directory
        svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jspwiki/site
jspwiki_site
1) Make changes in xdocs directory, I believe the index.xml file is
the status page.
2) Run the Ant build.xml script to generate site to docs directory
3) Make sure any new files under ./docs are added to SVN
4) Commit changes in ./xdocs and ./docs to SVN
3) ssh to people.apache.org
4) cd /www/incubator.apache.org/jspwiki/
5) svn update
6) Wait up to four hours for changes to be synced to site

You should have the permissions to do those things on people.apache.org.

I believe it should be run against the trunk, the stuff that will go
out in a binary or source release of JSPWiki.

Hope that helps...

Nope. No idea how to edit it ;-)

I just don't think we really got there yet.  Should RAT be run against  
the SVN repo or the distribution archives?

Will do.  I think I got the idea from Henning.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-461 ;-)

JSPWIKI-421 is almost done, and JSPWIKI-303 is currently under debate  
(which will be resolved through a friendly mud-wrestling match between  
me and Andrew on Monday - I find it a clear problem with ASF that  
there is no mention in the ASF policies for this resolution method. I  
may submit a patch.)

That looks like a pretty comprehensive list and I think that would
prepare you for graduation. There is also a checklist on your status
page, is it up to date?

   http://incubator.apache.org/projects/jspwiki.html

I don't see any comments on the "Check that only ASL and/or
ASL-compatible licenses are used" issue. How is that going? Have you
posted RAT results somewhere?

Where did you find the "Document IP process" task? I'm not sure we
ever did that on Roller, but it seems like a good idea. I don't think
you'd need a very detailed write-up -- can you summarize what was done
in a couple of sentences or bullet points?

The best demonstration that you have community readiness, have adopted
ASF style voting, etc. is to actually do a release. I see from your
last status report that you intend to make an alpha quality release;
where do you stand on that?
