Hi,
we had another instance of someone (i.e. Tim :-)) using SF instead of Apache 
svn repository:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-132?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13123747
... and missing the "MOVED TO APACHE.txt" file:
http://jena.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jena/jena2/MOVED%20TO%20APACHE.txt?view=markup
Because looking into jena instead of jena2.

The more people miss or wrongly use SF instead of Apache the more I become in 
favor of option #1 below.

Also, http://openjena.org/ should probably redirect people to  
http://incubator.apache.org/jena/.
