Hi Justin, We're close to being able to shutdown/redirect netbeans.org completely and use netbeans.apache.org for everything. In terms of content, everything we wanted to keep from netbeans.org, e.g., tutorials and feature descriptions, has been donated by Oracle to Apache. We're matching the URL structure of the original netbeans.org as much as possible so that redirects from, for example, netbeans.org/kb/docs to netbeans.apache.org/kb/docs will be possible.
The main part that has to be dealt with still is plugins.netbeans.org, for which there have been several discussions on the dev mailing list at Apache NetBeans. Here the challenge is that Apache cannot host and distribute the NetBeans plugins and either Maven Central and/or GitHub will be used for this, with the application at plugins.netbeans.org (which itself has been donated by Oracle to Apache) needing to be rewritten to be a catalog of references to wherever the plugins will be hosted -- and that catalog will run at netbeans.apache.org via our Apache NetBeans Virtual VM. Once this part has been completed (at a point that is not possible to determine right now but one assumes during this year), we'll be able to redirect everything from netbeans.org to netbeans.apache.org. Note also that not everything that is NetBeans has been donated yet -- in particular, the C/C++ features of NetBeans are in process for donation, with some other parts following that, e.g., support for Python, Ruby, and several other pieces like that. Hopefully this year too, though np guarantees -- this is tracked at cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+Transition, which is not completely up to date, but something we are working on. >From Oracle: * Arunava Sinha <arusi...@apache.org> * Dusan Balek <dba...@apache.org> * Geertjan Wielenga <geert...@apache.org> * Jan Lahoda <jlah...@apache.org> * Jan Pirek <jpi...@apache.org> * Jaroslav Tulach <jtul...@apache.org> * Jiří Kovalský <jkoval...@apache.org> * Martin Entlicher <e...@apache.org> * Reema Taneja <rtan...@apache.org> * Svatopluk Dedic <sde...@apache.org> * Tomas Zezula <tzez...@apache.org> Newly voted in (i.e., these were not in the initial list of committers): * Antonio Vieiro <vie...@apache.org> * Arunava Sinha <arusi...@apache.org> * Eirik Bakke <eba...@apache.org> * Eric Barboni <sk...@apache.org> * Jean-Marc Borer <jmbo...@apache.org> * John McDonnell <johnmcdonn...@apache.org> * Lars Bruun-Hansen <lbr...@apache.org> * Laszlo Kishalmi <lkisha...@apache.org> * Reema Taneja <rtan...@apache.org> * Simon Phipps <webm...@apache.org> * Thilina Ranathunga <thilin...@apache.org> Thanks, Gj On Mon, 8 Apr 2019 at 01:14, Justin Mclean <jus...@classsoftware.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Just wondering if you could answer a few questions: > - What the situation with https://netbeans.org website? > - How diverse (in terms of who employs them) are the proposed PPMC > members?
