Nicola,
On the Jakarta project we are removing a sub-project. Xml.Apache has others in "hibernation" and others will surely follow.
Just out of curiousity, why did you raise this on Incubator?
As it's the opposite of incubation.
The infrastructure team is already preparing archive.apache.org for this
purpose.
This is the technical part, and there is more to it, as policies wether a project is to be graveyarded, and how. There are also issues about what to gather from dying projects.
We could say that the graveyard is a feedback loop to the incubation.
As you know, all releases are supposed to go under www.apache.org/dist. http://archive.apache.org has a mirror of the distribution site, the difference being that soon projects will be asked to clean off historical releases from the distribution site to cut down on demands made on mirrors. However, archive.apache.org will always have all releases going back in time.
One thing is releases, ie program artifacts, and another is project resources.
Removing the web site is a related topic that should be addressed. Brian just did this for java.apache.org, which will now direct you to http://archive.apache.org/dist/java/.
If this is all there is to it... ok.
