Hi,
Many of you may have heard, that java.net will be shut down in less than 2 months from now.
As we did with Google Code earlier (though it is still there, just read only) all relevant sources of JSR 275 (used Kenai.com before it was stopped) were mirrored in our GitHub organization (which is mainly due to a download frenzy of over 130k in just 12 months, check https://bintray.com/keilw/maven/javax.measure%3Ajsr-275#statistics if you want, it's only to preserve the history of JSR 275 code, no warranty or support especially not after 363 went final) For other material like the Kenai.com page I requested a Tarball and URL forward, but so far there has been no result by Oracle. If we don't get it, the code should be sufficient.
JSR 363 started on GitHub right from its beginning. The only notable use of java.net was a few downloads https://java.net/projects/unitsofmeasurement/downloads and the JIRA issue tracker.
Some file downloads were already transferred to Bintray: https://bintray.com/unitsofmeasurement/downloads. Unfortunately Bintray only shows download stats for up to 30 days, everything else is lost (or you had to pay for) but I guess we can live with that. The Maven stats last longer, that is the more interesting one also see JSR 275.
All relevant modules including API or RI have GitHub issue trackers already, e.g. https://github.com/unitsofmeasurement/unit-api/issues.
If there is an export from JIRA, then we would gladly use that, otherwise selected tickets could be copied over somehow as a history, while others may be lost.
Similar with the mailing lists, though we only had an EG one and a JIRA ticket notifier (https://java.net/projects/unitsofmeasurement/lists/experts/archive)
Should there be an easy way to get a "dump" of those mailing lists, then that could ba an alternative for JIRA as all tickets and updates are also archived there already.
Regards,
Werner
