That makes sense. Anyone should be able to host it, though it doesn't sound like that would be Apache, and it would be best to be as independent as possible from Oracle, hence better some other external place -- though would that have to comply with Apache branding rules? Gj On Tue, Sep 4, 2018

Sorry, I see there's a typo in my last response. To be very clear: netbeans.org is not disappearing. :-) Once the domain transitions to Apache, it will be rerouted to netbeans.apache.org so that whether netbeans.org or netbeans.apache.org is typed in the browser, you'll end up at

I don't think anyone is talking about "having a large, established web presence just vanish in to the ether". Why would anyone anywhere suggest that? :-) The idea isn that netbeans.org is going to be rerouted to netbeans.apache.org. Gj On Thu, Aug 23, 2018 at 11:28 PM Will Hartung wrote: > On

Hi all, To add to the fun, we're getting really close now to actually transitioning the NetBeans brand and domains to Apache. I.e., netbeans.org and several other domains are in process of being donated to Apache. We have the go ahead from Apache VP to open an INFRA ticket for the transfer of
