1. Ok, so it seems we retired successfully from Apache Foundation and we
can keep the name, but we have to state explicitly that we retired from
Apache on the website.

2. I still have some mass updating to do, which i will do tonight or
tomorrow. Add testing glue-code as shown here,
https://github.com/zetacomponents/Archive/commit/541b1faca6d63c441bead83fe8ca5d9e174afe53

3. We should render a new version of the docs into gh-pages. Can you do
that Kore? Also zetacomponents.org should point there (or to the github
repo). I can help you set that up with github (if not only poke you to do
it ;))

4. Github Teams can be opened now, code is "free for all" :-) I am not sure
about the proceeding here, but i guess the old team will claim components
they can/want to still maintain and then everything still left is either
being actively deprecated or a new maintainer is searched for. I will open
a new thread for this.

5. I will register each package on Packagist, so it can be installed
through Composer asap.

6. I will post a rough guide on how to fix the tests for a component.

7. I will post a guide on the ML how to add a component to Travis CI after
testing works for a component.
