Relating to: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATTIC-124
Board resolution is complete, and users are informed. So next up are the infrastructural changes (pretty much the only steps - turning lots of things to read only, and adding a page on the Attic). I typically add the page on the Attic first. Richard - could you look at the project pages on the attic site and give us a basic piece of text? Typically it's just explaining what ESME was and perhaps why it closed; but there may be forks or other items you'd like to call out.
