Is there anything else missing?

Nope, it looks like you have your ducks in a row! +1 from me.

Great! Once our legal get their ducks lined up (very soon I hope), I'll submit the official request for approval / vote. I want to resolve the TM issues around "Traffic Server" before we do this, in case we end up having to rename the project (but I hope it won't come to that).

Sounds like the an obvious/interesting challenge will be to try and
attract some contributors from outside of yahoo -- with such a big
(and probably sophisticated =) ) code base I imagine it might be hard

Yeah, it's pretty complicated under the hood (asynchronous state machine + threads), but there are tons of "easy wins" for someone to immediately come in and contribute. We also hope that some more former developers will sign up (we already got one, Eric Balsa, who is an ex-Yahoo).
for newbies to get up to speed...then again I can also imagine more
than a few people would be interested in this stuff :)

Yeah, I think we have some interesting code/solutions here, which is what makes it scale to 4-8 CPUs fairly linearly. :) But we still think we can improve this, a lot, using new techniques and tools to optimize for todays multi-core processors with large L2/L3 caches etc.

Cheers!
