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.

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: | Jira |

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 |
netbeans.org needs to transition/link/redirect to/be supplemented by To be done. (e.g., see maven.apache.org). A static website or CMS or something of some kind needs to be made available to support that.| website was built and legacy netbeans.org has shutdown including hg.netbeans.org. |

To be done. Migration with potential bugzilla NetBeans custom plugin | | Special Infrastructure Requests
Based on the NetBeans Proposal above, the following are the Special Infrastructure Requests for Apache NetBeans:
| Details | Assigned To | Status | Notes | | 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 |
|---|
Status | Notes | | | | | T04 | Invite subscribers to the NetBeans mailing lists to join the Apache NetBeans mailing lists. | Multiple subtasks: - Write to nbusers etc and inform about new mailing lists.
- Use the NetBeans newsletter.
- Add automatic footer to mails to NetBeans mailing lists with new info.
|
| | |
|
|
| T05 | Migration of source code. |
| | | | | | Donations in progress, currently donation 6, though earlier completed donations, especially 4 and 5, need to be integrated. |
|
|
| T06 | Migration of Wiki (or start from scratch?) |
| | | | | | | | | | In progress. |
|
|
| T08 | Migration of bug tracker. |
| - Archive of historic bug reports:
|
| | | |
|
| 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. | | | | | | The Plugin Portal application has been donated to Apache as part of the 3rd donation, it has been rewritten to support Maven co-ordinates, it now runs on the Apache infrastructure, and when an NBM is registered on Maven Central its authors can register its co-ordinates in the Plugin Portal. | |
|
| 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. |
