I'm having a problem distinguishing "dormant" from "attic". Just because one had releases and the other didn't they should go to different places for their final resting place?
I'm not really clear on what happens to incubator projects that fail. I know there is no "incubator dormant" or "incubator attic" and I don't believe any incubator projects have ever moved to the attic. I'm not clear why commons should have an attic (or dormant) subproject. The attic is perfectly capable of housing Commons Jelly. It already contains several Jakarta subprojects. My proposal would be to move all of the dormant subprojects and any inactive proper projects to Apache Attic.
