I do not think there is an official guide one something like this. How
about:

- Create a new Imaging spot in SVN
- Copy everything to the new place
- Do all the renaming (Java packages, any names in the docs, and so on)
- Rename or create the JIRA name.
- Move the now old Sanselan to the Attic.

Also to do before 1.0:

- Update the parent POM and plugins to the latest
- Is there anything in Java 6 that would make Imaging better? Is using Java
5 vs. 6 an impediment?
- Add reports: PMD, FindBugs, Checkstyle (see Lang, Net, IO, Codec, for
example)
