The source code of the project must be available on the OW2 infrastructure. Either the OW2 forge is used as the main source code repository, or the source code is synced from external repositories to the OW2 forge, automatically and on regular basis (at least once per release)
For each release, the project must publish an archive file containing the source code corresponding to the release.
The project must follow a code convention guideline, which has to be documented on the web site. This guideline should be enforced by using tools such as Checkstyle
Continuous integration
The way to build the project has to be documented on the web site (required environment and step by step process to be followed)

Activiy metrics eg via OpenHub
