I'm +1, but I DO think that working with the Attic folks is the right thing to do so that the projects get officially listed there. Similar to: http://attic.apache.org/projects/jakarta-slide.html and such. > Open question - should we leave at least top-level SVN dirs for the > subprojects that get archived, with a README?

Out of sight, out of mind. Actually, in this case, it's the other way around. Out of mind, make it out of sight. :-) I'd extend this to the web site as well. Make an "ws.apache.org/archive" area where we dump the attic projects sites so the Attic can point at it.
