Here is a report draft. I don't think we need a wiki or even GoogleDoc for it. 
If someone wants to make an edit, doing it via email is perfectly fine (and 
perhaps easier to communicate to all of us compared to alternatives).

Feel free to comment. I am planning to email it to the board tomorrow.

----
Apache Cayenne is a Java persistence framework. It takes a distinct approach to 
object persistence and provides an ORM runtime, remote persistence services, 
and 
a GUI mapping/modeling tool.

### Project Status

* Cayenne 3.1 Final was released on September 29.
* Active 3.2 release branch was renamed to 4.0 to reflect a significant scope 
of changes.
* 4.0 development has been very active. We added a new fluent query APIs, and a 
new automated 
  way to synchronize the ORM model with DB-schema and Java classes. More new 
features are 
  likely to happen in the coming months.
* We are in preparations to release 4.0.M2.

### Community

* dev@ list activity is higher than before, due to the active discussions of 
  the new 4.0 features.
* There seems to be a trend of declining activity on the user@ list though. 
  Not specifically in this quarter, more like a long-term trend, partially 
explained 
  by good support provided on stackoverflow, partially perhaps by the project 
maturity.
* We receive steady contributions from two new developers.
* The last PMC member was added in December 2012.
* The last committer was added in May 2012.
