In September, the question of the Attic was broached with Click, and there was 
some pushback that it was still actively used and perhaps development was 
"done". There was some discussion of it becoming "Dormant". When I first 
visited it in November, it coincided with a big burst of JIRA activity, but 
that didn't continue in the last 5 months.

Activity can be very low as long as there are enough people there to be 
responsive to requests and monitoring the project's resources. The PMC should 
still be capable of making a decision by vote, such as a release or addition of 
a new committer, should that happen. Unfortunately, Click currently doesn't 
appear to have enough PMC members active, and the previous chair has resigned.

At this point, Click can either decide to go to the Attic, or get enough PMC 
members to agree to keep the lights on, and nominate a new chair.

If the PMC is not willing to continue, but there are a group of users who wish 
to try and reignite the project, it can also be put as a proposal to the 
incubator.

For the record, this is the actual Attic process: 
http://attic.apache.org/process.html. Note that distributions, website and 
users lists remain, albeit with a disclaimer of inactivity.

I'll keep an eye out over the next month, and if there's no movement then I'll 
take the previous chair's recommendation and create a resolution to move the 
project's oversight to the Attic.

Thanks,
Brett
