Darin - yes we've done more planning internally, and we do plan on having some
engineers spend some time on this project, doing some (minor) maintenance for
our customers.
That said, given the overall project community has waned over the last year, we
aren't opposed to letting the project sunset, doing our maintenance outside of
Apache (but still in open source).
To that end, we (MapR) happily volunteer to take ownership of the code, keeping
it in our git repo<https://github.com/mapr>. If it happens to pick up steam
with a diverse community, we'll look at submitting it back to the incubator.
Since i'm not a committer I'm not sure how involved I can be with the
sunsetting process, but i'm happy to help however I can. Perhaps Ted and the
other mentors can comment on what the next steps would be.

Will, any update we've got an Apache review and I'm planning to recommend
retirement.

All - sorry for the delay in commenting. We (MapR) are in the midst of roadmap
planning for Myriad and other projects.
Please give us a couple of weeks to plan our resourcing. I'll come back soon
with a proposal for how we take the project forward.

Maybe not dead, but it's in a coma, and I'm not sure if/when it'll wake up
again.
I'm not opposed to retiring, except that moving off of Apache infra sounds
like work.
