Sure, I think that'd be fine.  Any sort of news to show visitors to website what
we've been doing with the project.

Pretty much whenever we want :)
https://forge-allura.apache.org/p/allura/wiki/ASF%20Release%20Guidelines/ has
some notes about it, the script mentioned at the beginning does most of the work.

We did set up a Labs neighborhood for the "Apache Labs" project, but they never
did anything with it.  (They aren't very active any more anyway)

If there was a project interested in it, we could talk with them and get it set
up I think.  But we'd need a project that wanted to use Allura :D  Most projects
already have tickets set up in JIRA or Bugzilla, and have their own wikis if
they want one, etc.  So for most projects it wouldn't be worth moving their stuff.

Creating more importers, like pulling tickets from JIRA could help a project if
they were interested.

Also reaching out to projects in the Apache Incubator as they are getting
started is an option.  They'll want to move their content into an Apache hosted
site anyway.
