Great to see work starting. A few things...

All source files need to conform to Apache policy -- 
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html kitty/trunk/ will also need 
LICENSE and NOTICE files. Also, a DISCLAIMER or suitable disclaimer wording in 
a README file will also be required.

How do I build? I'm guessing that you're building from Eclipse? In general, 
most people will look for a build technique using maven, ivy, or ant. You can 
rely on Eclipse, if that's what the project wants to do. However, it will be a 
continual source of confusion...

Re: "create a binary for download" -- releases are a formal process in Apache. 
I would not yet be thinking in terms of creating a binary for people to be 
using. Creating documentation is always great.

This is a good time to review the various guides that the Incubator has 
created: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/index.html

In particular the Committer, PPMC, and Releases guides are relevant. Never 
hurts to be thinking about Graduation, either... ;-)
