Podling is the name the ASF associates with sub-projects in the incubator, as 
best as I can describe it.  Basically, if the incubator is responsible for 
turning these communities into projects, the one word title for that community 
while they're under the incubator is "podling."

The reasoning behind this retirement vote is:

- CMDA still does not commit to the ASF first.
- CMDA still does not publicly discuss the inner workings of their project on 
ASF lists, in addition to generally low activity on the lists.
- CMDA has consistently been difficult to get reports from.

After a year, the podling should have made strives.  The first bullet point is 
the most critical one, as it limits community involvement.  Basically you would 
need to have access to whatever private repository is receiving commits to 
interact.
