While I was updating various sites with the new release (wikipaedia,
ohloh, freshmeat, etc) I came across sourceforge and thought it looked
a bit confusing. Things like the "Last Update: Oct 12 2007" in the big
green box make it look abandoned.
Some little things might help:
* add a news item saying "Cayenne project moved to cayenne.apache.org"
since the news is very prominent
* remove the big green download box (if possible)
* put "this project has moved" more prominently in the summary
I don't maintain anything in Sourceforge so I don't know what options
are available.
