Yes, excellent work and many thanks for the time taken on this, Daniel. For anyone reading this -- do note that these are preliminary findings based on the current infrastructure of NetBeans, which is going to be very different under Apache, e.g., plugins.netbeans.org looks like it will be hosted somewhere else by one of the companies involved in Apache NetBeans. The question will be how much of the current NetBeans infrastructure will be needed under Apache, which is something we can work on concretely during incubation. Whatever costs have been identified in this phase can only in the end be lower than the estimate, since we will have less in Apache than we currently have in NetBeans. E.g., no forums in Apache, for example.
