As many know who have been watching this or reading on the general  
incubator mailing list, the Apache OFBiz project has graduated from  
the incubator and been approved as a top level project at the ASF.

In the very new future there will be various infrastructure changes  
because of this:

1. SVN Repository: changing from "http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ 
incubator/ofbiz" to "http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz", meaning  
the trunk is moving from "http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ 
ofbiz/trunk" to "http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/trunk"

2. Web Site: changing from http://incubator.apache.org/ofbiz/ to  
http://ofbiz.apache.org/, various information there will be changing  
as things progress (keep an eye out there for links to the most  
recent locations of stuff and links to things)

3. Jira: Staying in the same place, some minor information there will  
change

4. Mailing Lists: the ofbiz-*@incubator.apache.org mailing lists will  
be changed to *@ofbiz.apache.org (for example ofbiz-
[hidden email] will move to [hidden email])

So, what do you need to do? Fortunately not a whole lot, but there  
are a couple of things that you'll need to do as the various  
resources are moved:

1. For SVN: for new checkouts, exports, etc use the new URL; for  
existing sandboxes you can update the local meta data using the svn  
switch command, something like "svn switch http://svn.apache.org/ 
repos/asf/ofbiz/trunk" from your ofbiz home (trunk root) directory

2. For the Web Site: not much to do here, just set your browser home  
page to "http://ofbiz.apache.org"!

3. For Jira: nothing to do there, just keeping on participating in  
issues!

4. For Mailing Lists: the archives and subscriptions and such will be  
moved over, so all you need to do is start sending your emails to the  
new mailing list addresses

Again, please note that you shouldn't make these changes right now.  
This email is just a warning that these changes are coming. We will  
send out other emails as the actual changes occur.

Enjoy...
