As I understand the thread http://www.nabble.com/Forrestdoc-and-Maven-JXR-tf3864888s177.html they are still deciding. Reading your words it sounds they already have consensus they want be the new host.
Poor wording on my part, I'm still sticking with my original proposal from [1] which was: "Vincent, are you reading this thread? If so can you liaise with the Maven community to see if they would like to accept the code into their SVN. Be aware that Forrest have not yet decided they will donate the code (see above), but if Maven don't want it you could save us some time."
I know that you are on travel, all patches are applied besides https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-1024 (see my comment on it!) from Gavin and me.
Thanks to you both.
...but please let us apply a realistic time frame for issues, why is everybody in a hurry this days?
I don't see a rush, again, from [1]: "we need to leave a little more time to ensure Thorsten is able to object more strongly if he so desires." [that should have said "the community" not Thorsten, sorry] Applying patches in a timely manner is very important for community development though.
If there is a commitment for the code I am all for giving to maven.
OK, so lets leave it a little while longer to ensure others can object if they want to. Then under lazy consensus we can offer it to the Maven community.
