Yeah, I think doing JIRA and the mailing lists first is a good way of
getting started with interacting with the ASF. They should be easy to
do pretty much atomically, and all you have to do on your side is
change the links on the web site.

The dependencies themselves are ok as long as you're still in
incubation, but LGPL code itself should not go into the ASF's SVN!

That is something else that should go to the legal list, I think,
because I don't understand what the ramifications are of, say, not
being able to find someone.

Right, but do get started on the licensing stuff, that is in some ways
the most important bit of this process as far as the ASF is concerned.
You don't get SVN accounts until you do the iCLA's, so that's the
very first thing to do, and it's not that bad - just fill out the
form, read it, sign it, and fax it.

You might start attaching this information to the JIRA issue I opened
- perhaps someone on that end has an idea of how things can be done
smoothly.
