THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
Background
https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/NetBeansProposal
The initial goals of the NetBeans contribution under the Apache umbrella are to establish a new home for an already fully functioning project and to open up the governance model so as to simplify and streamline contributions from the community.
Tables below – the colors show status: green=complete, yellow=in progress, red=rejected/will not be done
Required Resources
Based on the NetBeans Proposal above, the following are the required resources for Apache NetBeans:
| ID | Resource | Details | Assigned To | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| R01 | Mailing Lists | dev, user, commits, and private @netbeans.apache.org | Apache mentors | Done. More can be created as needed, though let's start with the Apache defaults. Also, we need to investigate migrating the archives of the existing NetBeans mailing lists, e.g., nbusers@netbeans.org. | See T04 and T12. |
| R02 | Wiki | Confluence is being used as the Wiki. | Apache mentors | Done: To be decided. The question is whether to migrate the existing NetBeans Wiki or to back it up and start again from scratch with a clean slate here. To be done. Also, creating a clear structure is important. | See T06 and T09. |
| R03 | Website | Apache mentors | To be done. netbeans.org needs to transition/link/redirect to/be supplemented by netbeans.apache.org. Then netbeans.org can be shutdown. But this can only be done once we have a solution for hg.netbeans.org and bits.netbeans.org. | ||
| R04 | Source Control | Git | Done. Mirrored on GitHub -- https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans | ||
| R05 | Issue Tracking | Done: To be decided. Bugzilla or JIRA (Done: JIRA – https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/NETBEANS.) To be done. Migration with potential bugzilla NetBeans custom plugin | See T08 | ||
| R06 | Release Infrastructure | Hudson/Jenkins, etc. | Done: |
Special Infrastructure Requests
Based on the NetBeans Proposal above, the following are the Special Infrastructure Requests for Apache NetBeans:
| ID | Request |
|---|---|
| SIR01 | Migration of large existing Mercurial repository to Apache Git |
| SIR02 | Migration of internal Oracle release infrastructure to Apache infrastructure |
| SIR03 | Migration of Plugin Portal (plugins.netbeans.org) and related plugins. |
| SIR04 | Migration of website and related content management system to Apache infrastructure |
| SIR05 | Evaluation and identification of other NetBeans infrastructure to be migrated to Apache infastructures |
Further Resources
Not explicitly mentioned in the NetBeans Proposal, though referenced in SIR05 above, these resources and areas need to be considered too in the context of the transition. In many cases, there will be no impact, though at least "NetBeans" should be "Apache NetBeans", at least in first mention, where applicable. in the naming of the below.

Tasks
Based on the NetBeans Proposal above, the following are tasks that need to be completed during incubation. (Currently in no particular order.)
| ID | Task | Details | Reference | Assigned To |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T01 | Sign iCLA | Individual committers to sign iCLA. | https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt, and check that your proposed id has not already been taken: http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html | Individual committers. |
| T02 | Sign cCLA | For individual committers that need corporate backing, Apache has a cCLA that can be signed. | https://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt | Individual committers who need it. |
| T03 | Sign Software Grant Agreement | Oracle to sign Apache grant agreement. | http://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt contains the Software Grant Agreement, a separate document should not be used | Geertjan |
| T04 | Invite subscribers to the NetBeans mailing lists to join the Apache NetBeans mailing lists. | Multiple subtasks:
| ||
| T05 | Migration of source code. | |||
| T06 | Migration of Wiki (or start from scratch?) | |||
| T07 | Migration of tutorials. | |||
| T08 | Migration of bug tracker. | |||
| T09 | Create a structure for the Wiki. | |||
| T10 | Find a home for the Plugin Portal and plugins. | Several organizations have indicated an interest in taking this on. Another option is Maven via Sonatype. Next steps: bundle up plugins and the app and send it to one or more interested organizations with instructions for setting everything up and find out how/if it works and choose the best location. | ||
| T11 | Create a page on Wiki or website listing all the committers, contributors, supporting organizations, etc. | |||
| T12 | Mailing list archive migration. | NetBeans.org mailing lists, e.g., nbusers@netbeans.org, have large archives that need to be considered for migration. | ||
| T13 | Brand donation | The brand donation is distinct from the software grant. |
